Rationale
1. This sheet provides a written consent
that the student self-selected a
particular role within the group. The
roles each have definitions and list of
tasks, so there is no misunderstanding
what the requirements are for each role
within group work. This will tell me
which part of the project she focused
on.
2. The final project is the basis for the
assessment, and I will be able to
compartmentalize and see each
student's growth both on and off screen.
The credits at the end also tell me who
did which job. If I cannot hear the
narration over the music, or if some of
the shots and/or clips are poorly
framed, I will know that this student did
not complete her portion of the project.
3. This survey from her teammates will
give me multiple perspectives on her
performance throughout the process. It
will also help her reflect on her own
work, as well as that of her peers.
4. The storyboard shows the group
cohesion and communication. A
storyboard that matches the final
product shows me that the team worked
together on a unified vision, and
executed to the specifications.
5. This self-assessment gives me an idea
of what the student herself thought
about her own work, and shows me the
strengths and weaknesses of each team.
6. Because teamwork is a big part of the
assessment rubric, I will make sure to
document when students are absent
and/or not participating in the group. I
keep detailed notes for each group, each
period, and each day to be fair in their
group work score. This will help me
assess the group work along the way to
eliminate as much bias as possible.
Rationale
1. This is not a mastery grade, but rather
a bureaucratic procedure to make sure
they are all on the same page before
starting.
2. The cohesive project is worth the most
points (both numerically and by weight)
because it represents mastery of the
skills, as well as an ability to work with
others to develop a final product
greater than the sum of its parts.
3. Even though this survey is not worth
any points, it is taken before students
grade their team project to encourage a
reflective response (scaffolding for their
self-assessment using the rubric).
4. The storyboard is worth 5 Classwork
points because the "Mastery" is not in
developing a sequential plot, but in
utilizing the software tools and working
together as a group to finish a final
product. The storyboard, however, is an
important scaffold to a unified vision,
therefore this evidence of group work is
included in the final grade.
5. The self assessment will not sway or
determine the final Mastery grade for
the project, but is meant to encourage
self-reflection and evaluation. This
worksheet will be filled out by each
group member as a way to reflect on
their own work, as well as the group
performance. Students will turn in their
worksheets in a final package that
includes the storyboard, selfassessment, and group roles to help
with organization and accountability.
