Assessment and Rubric

Assessment is one of the most important part of doing project. Teacher need to evaluate student and the progress of project. The purpose of assessment is to develop and implement the leaner and project. Rubric is the tool to make the assessment convenient and clarified. rubicstar.4teachers.org is the alternative of creating online rubric. You can choose any kind of templates and the object of assessment. It is fun and easy way of assessment which I like it a lot because I don't have to mess up with Excel anymore.
I created two rubrics for my PBL project. I divided the assessment in two parts of content, first part is reading and storytelling, second part is website design.
These are two of rubrics for my I read, U learn project:

R.A.F.T - Strategies team

R.A.F.T - Strategies team
Team members: Kendra Harris, Scott Hill, Intupa Warawan

R - role of writer (who are you?)
A - audience (to whom this written to)
F - format (what form?)
T - topic (what I'm going to write about?)

We use R.A.F.T strategy with Creately to brainstorm and organize the idea of writing.
The other tool that fits in R.A.F.T is Xtra normal; VDO maker tools. Creating the VDO is another styles of narrative which is fun and interesting.
