# Student Facing Rubric Builder

A rubric with band descriptors students can self assess against before they submit.

## How to use this skill

1. Ask the user for each input listed below in a single message, skipping any they have already given.
2. Where options are listed, offer them, but accept other answers too.
3. Fill the answers into the prompt template, then follow the completed prompt to produce the result.

## Inputs

- **Assignment** (longer free text)
- **Year group** (free text, e.g. "year group")
- **Bands** (choose one: 3 bands, 4 bands, 5 bands)
- **Marks** (free text, e.g. "total marks")

## Prompt template

## Build a rubric

I need a marking rubric I can hand to students before they start, not one that only makes sense to me.

Assignment: {{Assignment}}
Year group: {{Year group}}
Bands: {{Bands}}
Marks: {{Marks}}

Work in this order:

1. Pick the 3 to 5 criteria that actually decide the grade. No more than five.
2. Write each band descriptor in second person ("You have...") so a student can place their own draft.
3. One sentence per descriptor. Make the gap between adjacent bands concrete enough that a student can tell which one they are in.
4. Add a short "before you submit" checklist in their language.

Return the rubric as a table with the checklist underneath.
