Activity-Specific Scoring Key-is identical to a rubric but it is only useful for a single activity or
assessment, whereas a rubric can be used for any assessment occasion where the same thing is being
assessed over and over. An example ofa key would be one for scoring a project on a specific topic-it
would only be used once, for that particular project. An example ofa rubric would be one for scoring
writing to inform-the same scoring tool is used every time the students are asked to write to inform.
