This is a great little activity you can use with teachers or students to explain how to use a 4 point rubric using cupcakes!

Your blog project is intended to serve several purposes and fill many objectives:

Purposes:

To make connections between classroom learning and your own experiences
To reflect on learning opportunities in the classroom
To share your ideas and thoughts an audience – peers, parents, community (local/global)
To share your voice about issues and topics related to this course
To link to websites and sources with related materials
Objectives:

Share and present ideas
Make connections

Demonstrate respectful communication in an online environment

I created this rubric for Grade 3 health the focus was on bullying. I believe that this assessment reflects 21st century learning because I was able to incorporate technology in a purposeful way for students to share their knowledge. This assessment allows student to share their understanding of the important topic of bullying through an interactive app called sock puppets. This app provides student the opportunity to create a situation they have experienced or seen bullying representing it through sock puppets. In order to expand on 21st century learning next time I would give the students options on different apps they can use to share their understanding of bullying using technology.

Engineering analysis distinguishes true engineering design from "tinkering." In this activity, students are guided through an example engineering analysis scenario for a scooter. Then they perform a similar analysis on the design solutions they brainstormed in the previous activity in this unit. At activity conclusion, students should be able to defend one most-promising possible solution to their design challenge. (Note: Conduct this activity in the context of a design project that students are working on; this activity is Step 4 in a series of six that guide students through the engineering design loop.)

These rubric exemplars were developed to provide a consistent and common resource that aligns with the Saskatchewan curriculum and provide opportunities for transfer of responsibility between educator and student. These rubrics are designed to be edited by educator and student.

I created this rubric for the Student - Directed Study outcome in Environmental Science 20. I wanted to leave the rubric very broad - based in order to give the students freedom to choose how they wanted to complete the project. Fostering creativity in our students is one of the 21st CCs (Competency 1: Creativity, Innovation, Entrepreneurship). By giving our students freedom to choose what they want to learn, how they want to go about learning it, and how they want to demonstrate their learning, we are embodying 21st Century Assessment practices. This assessment also gives the student a chance to think critically (competency 2), as they must complete research and then use the research to conclude how to answer their research question. The ability to acquire and process and wide variety of information to find out what is relevant is a major part of critical thinking. In this project, the students are required to work with at two of their peers at different times throughout the project to peer assess and collaborate in order to improve their projects. The idea of working with your peers to improve your product is part of 21st CCs (number 3), and is an essential skill for the students to have as they enter the work force. Throughout this assignment, the students will use a variety of forms of technology in order to complete their research and present their findings, which falls under competency #7.

Template of posters that can be used or modified which describe the Saskatchewan 4 - point academic scale in student-friendly language.

The following resources include rubrics/statements for Grade 3.

The first resource rubric covers:
- Comprehend and Respond
- Compose and Create
- Assess and Reflect

The second resource is a rubric for writing a personal letter.

This resource provides seven rubrics - one for each of the 6+1 Traits of Writing: Ideas, Organization, Voice, Word Choice, Sentence Fluency, Conventions, and Presentation. The rubrics contain both a description of what would be expected to earn that mark, as well as a student sample.
