Assessment Plan
	Description:

Assessment took place at multiple points during this project. First, my students were told that this project was an opportunity for us to share our best work with other people around the world. They were told to look at their language arts rubrics, which I created earlier in the year, for help in evaluating their own contributions. These rubrics clearly tell the students what is expected of them and facilitate self-assessment . Only the best materials were posted on the site.

Second, my students took an active role in assessing the work of the other participant classes. They were quick to point out grammatical and spelling errors. They judged the quality of the artwork very critically, and used the e-mail response links to send complimentary messages to classes whose work they liked. Similarly, my class received messages from others highlighting particular pictures, stories, or poems that others found enjoyable.
