OrangeSlice Rubric Add-ons
There are two rubric add-ons: Teacher Rubric and Student Rubric.
Teacher Rubric is a teacher’s grading tool that marks and concludes a student’s performance either quantitatively or qualitatively. A quantitative review can be done with either a ‘Process Rubric’ or a ‘Process Grade’. The ‘Process Rubric’ is used for student growth and ‘Process Grade’ places a final grade on the assignment.
Also, the teacher can leave category specific or summary level written feedback.
Student Rubric is a student’s tool to self review or peer review and concludes with a qualitative score. Also, the student can leave category specific or summary level written feedback. The assignment can be peer/self reviewed unlimited number of times.
Rubric Types
This is located under Settings and there are three options: holistic, competency and analysis.
Holistic concludes with a student’s average performance column scored on all categories.
Competency concludes with the student’s lowest competency score, the one the student most needs to improve, moving them into proficiency status.
Analysis review concludes with a quantitative grade, 12 of 15 points, 75%.
A teacher can initially grade holistically by sending out the assignment with the holistic setting. For the final grade, the teacher changes the setting to Analysis for a quantitative grade.

How do I manage my grading with Google Drive?
Sheet of Scores - It's there and it's even more powerful than a sheet. Use Google Drive for the alphabetical list of student's scores and to manage your grading workload. It's the fastest approach to grading several different assignments over several classes.
There you will see the 'sheet' ordered list of assignments submitted and not submitted. The grades are listed by student's last name, alphabetically. Notice the owner. If the owner is 'me' then the student has submitted the assignment and it's ready for grading.
When done, stay in Drive and select another folder to access additional assignments or to access another class's assignments. It's fast and easy.
You can also get to another class' folder/assignments by using the Get Next. Once you become comfortable with Drive and its speed, you'll begin with Drive. Then, you'll use Get Next to dig in deeper as you'll want to see a student's historical grades over several assignments or to see which class has assignments in the ready-to-be-graded status.
The classroom folder contains your class folders. I have 6 classes. | |
Opening the AP Environmental Science 6th folder presents a list of assignments. There are 9 assignments | |
Open the first assignment folder, 12 Reflection, and student work for this assignment is presented. 1. There are two groups: assignments NOT graded and assignments graded. 2. The Graded Assignments are listed alphabetically by last name. 3. Student grades are displayed in the doc name. 4. There is one submitted assignment and ready to be graded, it has been highlighted. When a student submits an assignment, the ownership is changed to ‘me’, the teacher. 5. There are 2 students, the first two in the list, who have not submitted the assignment for grading. This is clear because the owner is NOT ‘me’. | |
When you’re done grading the assignment for one class, then:

How do I create different category point values?
There are two methods: points and percentage.
1. The Points Approach
The Rubric Here the rubric. The maximum score is 12 points. The maximum points per category is: Ideas - 5 pts, Vocab - 4 pts and Fluency - 3 pts. This is shown by only providing descriptions for points that can be scored. | |
SETTINGS Select the option ‘Categories have Different max pts’. | |
Graded Rubric Notice the possible points is 12 and the point value of the selected cells is 10 points. |
2. The Percentage Approach
The Rubric You want the rubric categories to be weighted differently. Right now, they are equally weighted. | |
SETTINGS The categories are weighted as shown. As you enter each weight, the add-on shows you how many percentage points remain to 100%. | |
Update Rubric Select the Finish button. Notice the categories have been updated with their weighted percentage. |
Can I have multiple rubrics on one assignment?
You can have multiple rubrics on an assignment with a little bit of modification. As always, place ‘rubric categories’ in the first cell in all the rubrics. When you’re finished with the first rubric, modify its first cell by removing ‘rubric categories’ from the first cell. Teacher Rubric will skip over it and load the next rubric.
1. In each rubric, ‘rubric categories must be in the first cell. | First rubric
Second rubric
|
2. After grading the first rubric, remove ‘rubric categories’ from the first cell. 3. From the Add-ons menu, open Teacher Rubric to load the new rubric into the sidebar. | First rubric
Second rubric
|
What is purpose of the RETURN in the rubric’s performance header?
This returns the assignment to the student without a grade. This is a “Please complete the assignment” message. If a student has not fulfilled the minimum requirements for a category, this option can be selected by the teacher. RETURN becomes the grade.
The student will need to be notified by the teacher of the RETURN status. This interaction can be the starting point of a one-on-one discussion with the student to understand their obstacles to mastering the content.
As the teacher manages the grading workload via Google Drive, the teacher can now see the status of the work completed. It is sorted by: those that have not submitted their work, assignments graded and assignments RETURNED.
Can I save my Rubric and use it later? Or Can I delete the rubric?
Yes, you can use your rubric on another assignment. Simply Copy/Paste the rubric into another assignment. If the rubric has already been scored, remove the bold formatting and return the cell color to white.
Open Teacher Rubric and enter the Settings.
Yes the rubric can be deleted. It is simply a Inserted Table. So, just select the table and delete it.
Why does it keep telling me “this session is being recorded”?
The settings are saved in the Grade Table. They are the small size 6 font. Here’s one.
Teacher Rubric Settings: t01260tft orangeslice.edu _
A teacher saves the settings by entering Assignment Points, Performance Points, choosing the rubric type: Analysis or Holistic or by selecting the ‘Finish’ button. The last setting is the teacher’s email address. I’ve increased the font so you can see mine.
Teacher Rubric Settings: t01260tft orangeslice.edu _
When the add-on is opened, it compares the Active User’s email address with the address saved in settings. If they are different, then it’s assumed someone other than the teacher has opened Teacher Rubric.
So be sure you are using the same gmail account that you used when you saved the settings.
When the email’s match, a log of When and Who opened the add-on will be shown. To see what has changed, go to File / See Revision History. You can go directly to that time and see all that changed.
