Draw a table with five rows and four columns. You need to provide space to dedicate to different aspects of the project as well as a row and column to list the titles of each avenue of assessment.
Write in the section descriptions per each row. Leave the top left box empty, then, fill in each box with a description of what you will assess in that column. For example, label each row with the following: 'Planning,' 'Construction,' 'Creativity,' and 'Group Participation.' These titles will allow you to focus your grading on different aspects of the project; so, a student could score well on the construction, but maybe they didn't participate with the group as much as they should. This rubric allows you to reflect this in their overall grade.
Compose a range of numerical grading to reflect their level of achievement. Write these figures in the three columns along the first row. For example, title the three columns in the following way: 'Poor 0-10,' 'Average 11-17,' 'Excellent 18-25.'
Grade the students on each designated facet of their work, then fill in a short description of why you gave them a certain amount of points to help them understand their grade. For example, if they did an average job with the construction of the maze, write the following description: "You earned 12 points for construction, since there were a few unplanned holes in your maze."
