assessment
On Friday, May 9th, you will have to submit a portfolio to
me to show me how much you have worked to improve your writing. Give me
all of the written assignments you have completed since the beginning of this
quarter. This is a chance for you to do any of the assignments you didn’t
do before. Do your best to improve all your work and make your portfolio
complete. Follow the comments I wrote on your writing to revise and improve
every one. Write your work more neatly and accurately. Make everything better.
Besides including everything from your last
portfolio, your new portfolio should include the following (five total):
- a poem about your homeland
- a paragraph about being able to count on others
- two thank you letters from A Dog You Can Count On
- a paragraph about what life might be like if you were
blind
I will grade you according to how complete your portfolio
is and how much improvement it shows. Your work should look good. Typing
helps. This collection of your work is worth a total of 200 points towards
your quarterly grade. Make it look like a magazine or publication to
impress me.
This is the grading rubric:
The first 100 points are for completion ---
The percentage of work that is
complete will be used to make a grade. So, for example, if only four of the
five writing assignments are in the portfolio (it is missing one assignment)
then you have 80% of the work complete. In that case, you get 80 points out of
100.
The other 100 points are for how well developed and
presentable it is. These points are assigned in the following manner:
|
100 points |
All the work is “perfect” in many ways. All of the
assignments do not need further editing or revision. There are few errors
and it is well formatted and typed. Overall, it is neat and presentable,
like a final product. |
|
90 points |
Nearly all the assignments are final products. They
are neat and presentable. Some may still need some editing but none need
any major revision. The work is, for the most part, well formatted and
typed. |
|
80 points |
The portfolio is presentable but some of the
assignments may be sloppy, or untyped. Some of the assignments are not
final products and may need more editing or even revision. |
|
70 points |
The portfolio is in some ways not presentable. Much of
it may be sloppy or untyped. Many of the assignments are not final products
and still need a lot of editing or revision. |
|
60 points |
The portfolio is not presentable and shows little
effort or improvement. It may be sloppy or untyped. Most of the
assignments still need a lot of editing or revision. Most of the
assignments have not been improved in any way and may still have the
teacher’s comments written on them. |
