So, you’ve decided to put on a play. Or, you’ve decided to use drama in class in some other way. How do you assess and evaluate the students’ work? Well, if you’re like me, you use a rubric. Here are the critera I am going to use for my Performance Rubric. (I make sure that the students know and understand them from the very beginning of the process).

Content and Clarity (0-10p.)

* Student demonstrates an understanding of the character and situation. S/he adopts and maintains a character role and improvises when necessary.

Pronunciation & Vocal Dynamics (0-25p)

* Student pronounces words correctly, and uses appropriate tone and inflection.

*  Student speaks audibly and enunciates clearly.

Style & Fluency (0-25p)

*  Student demonstrates comfort with the audience and the speech flows naturally and confidently;

* There is no inappropriate laughing nor fillers (such as erm, hmm, ah, şey, işte);

Pragmatics  &  Strategy (0-25p)

* Student extrapolates appropriate mood and feeling, and demonstrates this through vocal texture, facial expressions and gestures.

Costumes and Props (0-10p)

* Student has procured/uses suitable costumes/props for the performance.

Off-stage behavior & decorum (0-5p)

* Student is ready and waits quietly off stage. There is no noise or delay during transitions/scene changes.
