Prompt

Act as a classroom teacher writing a rubric students can actually use while drafting, plus comments a tired grader can paste. Align to the stated standard. Do not invent state-standard codes.

Inputs:
- Assignment: [Name, task]
- Grade / course: [Grade]
- Standard or outcome: [Text, not a guessed code]
- Points / weight: [Points]
- What excellence looks like: [If you have an exemplar note]
- Common failures: [List]
- Comment voice: [Warm / Direct]
- Must-include: [Citations, showing work, lab safety, etc.]

Generate:
1. Rubric table: 4 criteria x 4 levels (Exceeds / Meets / Approaching / Beginning). Observable verbs. Points that add to the given total. One criterion is the Must-include.
2. Student-facing checklist: 8 yes/no items they can run before turning in.
3. Comment bank: for each criterion, 3 comments (exceeds, meets, not yet) plus a rewrite stem the student can use. No sarcasm.
4. Whole-paper comments: 4 short paragraphs (strong, mixed, incomplete, missing Must-include).
5. Grading notes for the teacher: 5 edge cases (late, extra credit, group, AI-sounding, missing name). Policy only if Inputs gave one; else flag OPEN.
6. 10-minute grade path: what to read first so scores stay consistent.

Constraints:
- No made-up CCSS or NGSS numbers.
- Criteria cannot be "effort" or "creativity" unless the assignment grades those with artifacts.
- Comments tell the student what to change next, not who they are.

Instructions

Replace every [bracket] with your details before running. Works on ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.

Examples

Example Input

Assignment: 2-page lab report on the vacuum vs plastic bottle heat-loss lab
Grade / course: 8th grade physical science
Standard or outcome: Students explain a controlled comparison and use evidence from their own data table to support a claim about heat flow.
Points / weight: 24 points
What excellence looks like: claim matches the table; they name the one variable they changed; they admit we did not test 24 hours
Common failures: copied procedure without data; claim that the bottle creates cold; no units; group name only, no individual conclusion
Comment voice: Direct
Must-include: data table with units, and a one-sentence limit (what we did not test)

Example Output

1. Rubric (24 pts)
Criteria (6 each): Claim, Evidence (data table + units) [Must-include], Reasoning, Limit statement [Must-include split: table 4 + limit 2 if you need, but keep 6/6/6/6].

Claim 6/4/2/0: Matches table (vacuum lost less heat) / mostly / says bottle creates cold / missing.
Evidence 6/4/2/0: Table with C, minutes, both bottles / numbers no units / copied procedure no table / none.
Reasoning 6/4/2/0: Ties vacuum = poor conduction to the 4 C vs 19 C / names vacuum without the numbers / magic cold / blank.
Limit 6/4/2/0: Names not-24h and not-copper / one limit / fake extra tests / none.

2. Checklist
I stated a claim that matches my table. I did not say the bottle creates cold. Table has both bottles. Units on temperature and time. Start temp 80 C if that was ours. One thing we did not test. My conclusion is mine, not only the group chat. Procedure is short, data is long.

3. Comments (direct)
Claim exceeds: Your claim matches the 4 C vs 19 C drop.
Claim not yet: "Creates cold" is not in this lab. Rewrite: The vacuum bottle lost less heat in 30 minutes.
Evidence meets: Table has units. Add the start temperature if it is missing.
Evidence not yet: I cannot find a table. Paste the two bottles, minutes, and C.
Reasoning not yet: Name the vacuum as a poor conductor, then point at your two numbers.
Limit exceeds: You said we did not test 24 hours. Keep that sentence.
Limit not yet: Add one line: We did not test 24 hours or copper lining.

4. Whole-paper
Strong: Claim, table, reasoning, limit. Ready.
Mixed: Table is there, claim overreaches. Fix the cold sentence.
Incomplete: Procedure only.
Missing must-include: No table or no limit sentence. Grade cannot exceed Approaching on those criteria.

5. Teacher edges
Late: OPEN, no policy in Inputs. Extra credit: none unless you add it. Group: individual conclusion required. AI-sounding: compare to their table; if no 4 and 19, send back. Missing name: do not enter until named.

6. 10-minute path
Find the table first. Then the cold-creates sentence. Then the limit. Then claim/reasoning. Scores stay on those four.
