Explanation: The Traffic Light Rubric was designed for a simple and
personalized assessment for my students to understand their strong
points, and mechanics that need improvements. With this rubric, my
students will either receive a green light for strong points, yellow
where slight improvements are needed and red where greater
improvements need to take place.
