rubric for literary critics' circle (nov 25, 2008)

See rubric for one assignment of my Literary Critic's Circle unit. The rubric is posted on my class wiki so students can access it, and I can update it if need be!

In terms of giving feedback to my student, I would give informal feedback via the wiki response page. I would also consider holding an "editing" conference with my students via online chat. I think it would be interesting to split students into "editing" groups. These groups will set up their own online conference, go over each other's work, and then send me the saved chat. This kind of informal feedback is geared toward writing improvement rather than judging a final product.

In terms of formal feedback, I would simply write up my final response and email/give to student. This is a more summative assessment.

Students are required to give each other feedback via the wiki as part of their literary critical review grade. Before reviewing their peers, we will be reviewing what is seen as "appropriate feedback." For instance, "nice picture!" or "I liked that book too!" is not seen as appropriate feedback. Whereas "I thought you did a nice job critiquing the characterization in the novel. Particularly, I like..." is seen as appropriate. We will talk about articulating thoughts and opinions during class time.
