Evaluation

Evaluation [If you want to set your students up to succeed, then a little extra effort at this stage will yield large dividends. Your assessment criteria need to be as explicit as possible. A rubric is a great idea, as it lets the students know exactly what criteria you will use to assess them. I tend to use the column headings Beginning to Develop, At Expected Level and Above Expected Level, but you could use almost anything relevant and meaningful. An example of one rubric I constructed for a Webquest can be found at [] Try to make your rubric as easy to follow as possible. Some examples might be…
 * ||  Beginning to Develop   ||   At Expected Level   ||   Above Expected Level   ||
 * References  ||   Evidence of research from less than 4 sources   ||   Evidence of research from at least 4 sources   ||   Evidence of research from more than 7 sources   ||
 * Originality  ||   Text has simply been copied and pasted from other sources   ||   Text from other sources has been paraphrased   ||   Student has used reference material but constructed original text   ||
 * Drawings  ||   Drawings absent, irrelevant or difficult to interpret   ||   Drawings are neat but simple and summarise the text   ||   Drawings are neat and enhance the text   ||
 * It should be clear to your students what they have to do to achieve at each level. They themselves should be able to assess how well they have met the criteria.] **
