Assessing Student Work

| Lesson ideas | Share assessment ideas |

Student assessment will vary according to grade level, abilities of your students and your curriculum requirements. You might want to include the students when designing rubrics and assessment guides so that they know from the very beginning of the project how their work will be assessed. A simple scoring table is included below. You may want to use this or something more detailed such as this sample rubric from the "Who am I?" program. You would redefine the tasks to apply to the Grandmother and Me project.
