https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Group-and-Skit-Evaluation-Rubric-699937

Description

Group work is always tricky to evaluate because there is so much going on. In addition, as educators, we are required to give detailed feedback on students’ performances.

I created this FREE document to make the teacher’s job easier, and to allow students to be responsible for their success as well.

Self-evaluation grids are a great way to guide students in their evaluations. Students will know exactly what is expected of them and will be made responsible for their success. This package can also easily be changed to be used as peer evaluations.

This self-evaluation grid will help students as well as teachers to assess students’ group work. When students use this grid to assess their work, there are no surprises when they receive their final mark. This grid, in particular, allows the students to become organized and responsible for their individual parts.

These self-evaluation grids are also very helpful to teachers:

❒ Helps the teacher justify the final mark;

❒ Helps to identify students’ weaknesses and strengths;

❒ Helps parents and students better understand the task required;

❒ Helps teachers create rubrics for the final evaluation.

Because of formatting issues, this package was created in a PDF document, but I can easily email you a Word file to be easily modified and changed according to the individual teacher’s needs.

This entry was posted in 6th Grade 7th Grade 8th Grade SCIENCE LESSONS and tagged free on April 22, 2021 by Patrice Manchola (updated on April 22, 2021)

by The Science Vault
6th – 8th Grade

Students will get great practice on the scientific method and experimental design skills with these 8 Boom Cards. Great for online, hybrid, or blended learning and integrates easily with Google Classroom, Schoology Powerschool, and Canvas. Interactive, easy to use, and no prep – PLUS students get immediate feedback on their answers!

Eight unique research questions ask students to identify either the independent or the dependent variable. Appropriate for any middle school class or even as a quick review for 9th graders. These Boom Cards are a great way to reinforce concepts quickly – students enjoy the interactivity and teachers can use them as a meaningful activity for some students while working in a small group with others. Great way to have a break-out room with a smaller group of students while knowing that the rest of your students are guided through meaningful work with these cards. The immediate feedback is so helpful for students who are still a bit unsure of the concepts!

FULL SET AVAILABLE HERE: I have a full set of 24 cards if you like these and want more. You can find them here: Identifying Independent and Dependent Variables

ABOUT BOOM CARDS: To use Boom Cards, you must be connected to the Internet. Boom Cards play on modern browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge). Apps are available for Android, iPads, iPhones, and Kindle Fires. For security and privacy, adults must have a Boom Learning account to use and assign Boom Cards. You will be able to assign the Boom Cards you are buying with “Fast Pins,” (play provides instant feedback for self-grading Boom Cards). Fast Play is always free and a great way for students to engage with Boom Cards decks. For additional assignment options, you’ll need a premium account.

Description

The Spelling Flip Book is designed to help young learners become familiar with spelling rules and to incorporate them into their work.

Students can color and personalize their flip books to enhance the spelling learning experience.

I always like encouraging my students to use their flip books as reference sheets when they are working to promote good spelling habits. The goal is that eventually, by using the flipbook when working, the student will begin to remember common errors made in the past and correct them. I have had much success with this strategy in my classes.

I’ve also included a color copy and an answer key – a total of 18 pages.

The end of a school year or semester is always a challenge for English Language Arts teachers. Between the marking, end of the year activities, and packing up your class for the following year, creating individual and meaningful comments on students’ report cards can be challenging.

❒ theme development while using historical context for analysis purposes

❒ supporting arguments in essay form

❒ reading strategies

❒ reading comprehension

❒ group work and literature circles

❒ novel study

There are also a slew of next step comments as well.

FREE SCIENCE LESSON – “Earth Day Report Card”

This entry was posted in 10th Grade 3rd Grade 4th Grade 5th Grade 6th Grade 7th Grade 8th Grade 9th Grade SCIENCE LESSONS and tagged Earth Day free on March 27, 2021 by Patrice Manchola (updated on March 27, 2021)

3rd – 10th Grade

This Earth Day, give your students this report card and have them evaluate how “green” their school / classroom / home is.

There are three different report cards: one for the whole school, one for the classroom, and one for the home. You could either have all students complete both the school and classroom report card, or divide your class into two groups and have one group complete the school card, and one group complete the classroom card. Students could then compare the results to see how their classroom compares to the school. Home report cards could be taken home for students to complete with their parents.

Description

Group work is always tricky to evaluate because there is so much going on. In addition, as educators, we are required to give detailed feedback on students’ performances.

I created this FREE document to make the teacher’s job easier, and to allow students to be responsible for their success as well.

These self-evaluation grids are also very helpful to teachers:

❒ Helps the teacher justify the final mark;

❒ Helps to identify students’ weaknesses and strengths;

❒ Helps parents and students better understand the task required;

❒ Helps teachers create rubrics for the final evaluation.

Because of formatting issues, this package was created in a PDF document, but I can easily email you a Word file to be easily modified and changed according to the individual teacher’s needs.
