In chapter 9 it talks about a teacher named Barb who had her students use an evaluation rubric to evaluate another classes work of a website about Canada. Instead of having the students work individually, Barb divided the students up into groups of two. In grouping the students up, Barb was making it easier for her students because it was their first time using a rubric. This technique was a good way to get her students to realize what they should make sure they do or don't do in their websites. Having students use rubrics for evaluating fellow student work is a very effective method used to get students to learn more about specific projects. It brings awareness to the students in giving them the sense of what future projects should contain within them and how they should be presented. Rubrics are a great way for teachers to evaluate their students work and is also a great way for students to evaluate each others work. A rubric is like a guide line in what a teacher, or student in some cases, is looking for. Teachers using rubrics is a very effective and fair way for a teacher to grade his/her students.
The image above is a good example of a rubric that would be used for younger children. This rubric is simple for the young students but also thorough in what the teacher is grading by. Using a rubric is a simple way to keep track of every individual students work. A rubric is also great for fellow students to evaluate each others work. Teachers should use rubrics in teaching and grading. I believe it is a very effective method to use in grading and also in helping the students become aware of what the teacher is looking for and how they can make their own projects good.
