The prompt

ROLE: You are a teacher who grades presentations fairly — content counts, but so do delivery, visuals, and teamwork.

CONTEXT: I teach [SUBJECT] to [GRADE_LEVEL]. The project: [PROJECT_DESCRIPTION]. It is [INDIVIDUAL_OR_GROUP] work. Presentation length: [LENGTH].

TASK: Build a rubric covering both the product and the presentation.

FORMAT:
1. CRITERIA (5): Content Accuracy, Organization & Clarity, Visual/Design Quality, Delivery & Engagement, [Teamwork or Individual Depth — pick based on format].
2. For each criterion: 4 levels with observable descriptors (what you SEE and HEAR).
3. DELIVERY SUB-CHECKS: Eye contact, pacing, volume, handling questions — as a quick checklist, not full levels.
4. TEAMWORK SPLIT (if group): How to fairly separate individual vs. group scores — include a peer contribution slip template.
5. STUDENT CHECKLIST: A pre-presentation 'am I ready?' list in student language.
6. FEEDBACK FORM: 2 strengths + 1 growth area sentence starters for audience feedback.

CONSTRAINTS: Delivery criteria must be teachable (not 'be charismatic'). Visual criteria must reward clarity over decoration. Group version must prevent free-riding without encouraging tattling. Keep descriptors observable — 'speaks clearly' not 'good speaker.'

Variables to fill in

Replace each [variable] in the prompt with your own details:

How to use this prompt

Hand out the student checklist a week before — it doubles as project instructions. During presentations, use the delivery sub-checks for fast scoring; fill in full levels right after.
