Collaboration #3

Plans for assessing students in Designing a Portfolio

Students will be assessed formally after the research portion of the project. I will assess the students with this rubric. The students will write a reflection on their accomplishments and contributions to the research for the group proposal.

The second assessment will be with this Proposal Rubric-. The students will assess their group's performance, their individual performance and their classmates' performance. I will use this rubric and their assessments to evaluate their performance.


 * January 22, 2012 - Thoughts and plans for my (Leslie's) Capstone 1 project**


 * Class:** Journalism - a semester course which begins on Thursday January 26


 * Students-** 14 students are currently enrolled. All are eleventh and twelfth graders


 * Project Goal:** Students will establish an online newspaper for our school. Guiding Questions: What should our school newspaper look like and how will we attract readers?

>
 * Format:** Students will be divided into four groups for research. Group assignments will be based on student interest and ability. Students will complete research and create a multimedia presentation for the class. The multimedia presentation will be on the group's proposal for the school newspaper. Each group will focus on a different aspect of the school paper.
 * **Appearance-** What tool should we use to create our online newspaper? Why? How should we decide on a title for the school newspaper? How should the paper be set up? How can the appearance attract readers?
 * **Content-** What should be included in the school paper? Sections? Special Features? Multimedia? How will the content attract readers?How often should information be updated?
 * **Ethical/ Copyright-** What will be our guiding principles for publishing the paper? How should we determine what is fit to print? Create laws and rules for our paper? How will we determine the credibility of an article or a source?
 * **Staff Assignments-** What positions should we create? What duties and responsibilities correspond with each position? How will we determine who holds each position?
 * Tools:**
 * a **Google Forms** questionnaire will determine areas of interest for each student
 * a **wiki page** will include links to websites with information for each research group https://chausseclasses.wikispaces.com/Journalism
 * Students will use Spider Scribe, Popplet or Noodle Tools to keep track of the research. Students will share the tool with me and every member of the group.
 * Students can use Noodle Tools, bibme or easy bib to create an MLA works cited page for the project
 * Students can present their proposal to the class using any web 2.0 tool including Prezi, Glogster, Wiki, Google Sites, MixBook, Animoto etc.
 * After each group presents its proposal, students will discuss and decide how they want to proceed as a class.
