I forgot one! Here's my rubric for my wiki project

Whoops! Here is one of the rubrics that I used for my most recent wiki project and there are a few things I would change. First of all, I would not include the rough draft in my grading of the entire project. I would make that a separate grade. As it was, I was not able to thoroughly help each and every student on their rough draft, and therefore I had to make my judgement about that part of the rubric based upon their final draft (which is fairly easy to do with 7th graders, but still not the most transparent). Anyhow, feel free to steal anything you like.

Wiki Project
7th Grade Language Arts
Walk Two Moons

Assignment: To create a wiki page that informs the public about the book Walk Two Moons

STEPS TO COMPLETE
