    Instructional Strategy Description Grading Criteria



    Minimum Criteria:
     
      NOTE: If the instructor-provided cover sheet, listing the criteria below, is present, accurately completed, and ALL criteria have been met, student will be assigned 11 points.
       
    • Our Instructional Strategy Description paper is typed, double-spaced, uses 12 pt font, and has 1” margins.
    • We used section headings (i.e. ‘description’ and ‘example’).
    • All group members contributed significantly to this project.
    • This project (or significant portions of this project) has not been turned in for a grade in another course.


    Our report includes:

    • A description of the assigned instructional strategy.
    • A rationale for the assigned instructional strategy.
    • An example of the assigned instructional strategy.
    • We used “people-first” language consistently.
    • We cited at least three credible* resources in the body of the paper.
    • Every time we used information from a particular source we indicated where the information came from (not just at the end of the paragraph).
    • We paraphrased information from our sources in our own words, in our own sentence structure (and we still indicated where the information came from).
    • We only cited those resources we actually read -- if we included ‘secondary sources’ in our paper, we made it clear in the in-text citation what we actually read and what we did not actually read, AND we did not include any secondary sources on the reference page.
    • All direct quotes were indicated by: quotation marks (or block indentation of longer than 40 words), the last name of the author(s), the year of publication, and the page number where we found the quote.
    • All direct quotes were included exactly as written in the original source.
    • All of the resources cited in the body of the paper accurately listed on a separate page for references.


    Additional Criteria:

    • The description of the strategy was very accurate. (1 point)
    • The rationale for using the strategy was very clearly described. (1 point)
    • The example of the strategy was relevant and appropriate. (1 point)
    • The example was very clearly described. (1 point)
