Journal Writing Rubric

I created my journal-writing rubric at http://www.teach-nology.com/. Part of our lesson plan for the Flat Stanley project is for students to write journal entries on the things that they have done with their flat friend. I like this website because not only does it automatically create the rubric for you, but it also offers activity ideas on different subject areas and subjects. The tool also gives you the option to add an image and also gives you options to choose on how you want to design your expectations. Rubrics are helpful for evaluating student’s work by measuring the product to real life criteria. The expectations vary for each child’s level of expertise. It also helps you plan for instructions on the needed areas that the child is having problems and it gives you an idea of whether the child had grasp the topic or objective of the task.
