Include Depth and Complexity
I need GRADES, people!
The product required should reflect greater complexity
reflect the use of more complex resources
reflect thinking about more complex issues
reflect more complex understanding of:
patterns across disciplines
personal connections to prior learning, or experiences
less obvious connections between ideas
Rubrics:
Rubrics should evaluate the student's ability to design, monitor, and evaluate in multiple ways
Consider allowing students to create their own rubrics, what do THEY think would show communication, collaboration, creativity, character, critical thinking, etc.
