How to grade with this rubric
- Score Contribution on quality and relevance, not just frequency — one substantive comment outweighs three off-topic ones.
- Watch Listening & Building on Others to see whether students reference peers by name or paraphrase what was said.
- Share the rubric before discussion so students know making space for others is as valued as speaking up.
