Mr. Moshe, I was wondering if I could make my own rubric, not like creating my own categories and such, I mean like copying and pasting what is says for the Final Presentation Rubric and using Microsoft Word to create a table just like it, but to make it fit into one page because the one that I am going to use, when I try to print it, it shows it as being two pages, but I would rather have it as one page when I print it.
I finished making the rubric, it looks the same as the Final Presentation Rubric, it’s just smaller so it can fit on one page. I would send you a link to it, but I’m not sure if your website would allow it.
