Authentic Assessment is different because it looks at:

  1. The audience that the students are writing to.

  2. More emphasis on Ideas/Content and less on conventions.

  3. Rubrics that are based upon what students want to work on.

  4. Rubrics that are based upon individual students rather than an entire group.

  5. Grading from the writer’s perspective

  6. A true response to student writing (teacher writing back as comment)
