============= I'm searching for a rubric for summarizing which also incoporates the notion of author's intent or theme as well as details? Does anyone have anything like this?

Search the MOSAIC archives at http://snipurl.com/MosaicArchive. It is so funny that you are looking for a rubric for summaries. I am working with the teachers in Grades 5 - 8 in our middle school creating common rubrics for summaries. I think you should get the book Understanding By Design by McTighe. The UBD method gives explicit steps on how to create rubrics using student work. When the teachers create the rubrics by looking at their own student work, it becomes a powerful tool because everyone had a stake in creating it! You should think about running PD to help them move toward their own rubric. We are finding everyone is engaged because they know it will be something they can use in every content area.
