Can you share yours?

Kevin Carmody; This rubric is not designed for ELS but for native speakers so the criteria selected is weighted toward creativity and not, [more importantly for us] language coherency and writing.

# data[].attributes.body
Anas Boulad: The rubric has given each part a specific weight. I have noticed, from unsatisfactory to limited, the scale is 0 and then 80.

# data[].attributes.body
Bilal -  The rubric is following a comprehensible and moving gradually and specifically what each student should do to make a gradual progress

# data[].attributes.body
Omran - In general, the rubric is very specific and the criteria is explained in details. It is better to modify the score to be balanced between skills.

# data[].attributes.body
Mohamed deeb-- by large i think this rubric is ok,but it can be modified according to each class community.Also, assessing the whole work will be somehow subjective after all

# data[].attributes.body
Simon. A comprehensive rubric. The percentage for creativity seems a bit high.

# data[].attributes.body
Radwan KIbreet - I think the rubrics sheet is comprehensive and all the criteria should be shown and explained to students before starting blogging. Also, the percentage division is fair as it gives the real level of each work done. The most important one is the Citation.

# data[].attributes.body
Kevin carmody ;I think the marks weighting is unevenly placed on creativity.  For our purposes quality of writing is of greater importance.

# data[].attributes.body
Tom Rymer -
Overall I think the rubric is comprehensive in assessing a blog
-I would suggest the % marks given for 'Quality of Writing' should be increased to 20% (though the danger is that they just use grammarly anyway to get these marks and it will not reflect their level anyway)

# data[].attributes.body
I think the percentage breakdowns are good and fair for the tracking of a student's development. They accurately explain the expectations to prove that the required skill is mastered. I am in two minds about the large percentage range that each criteria gives. On one hand it allows a teacher to give students what they think the student has achieved, but on the other hand it can slow down mark allocation. There are pros and cons, but that comes down to an individual teachers preferences. - Lourens

Read the description of each criteria, and write your feedback

Simon, possible lesson plan: 1. Hangman of 'blogs', ask Ss what they understand by the term and any examples they know about. 2. Use the website's podcast as a Listening Comprehension with questions prepared by the T. 3. Ss then read the article to check their answers. 4. Go over the answers with the class and clear up any doubts. 5. Put Ss in small groups to discuss which type of blog they would be most interested, class feedback. 6. Have Ss go online and find examples of their chosen type of blog and give class feedback. 7. Present the task: Each student to create a blog, which will be assessed for part of their CA. Give clear Assessment Criteria. 8. Give them time in class to start setting up their blog on Word Press (G910-12?) or EduBlog (G7-9?) - important to use the same platform for every student in class, for consistency? 9. Make it clear they need to update their blog weekly. 10. Keep it going for the first quarter, then perhaps adapt it into the 2nd quarter, 3rd quarter, 4th quarter.

# data[].attributes.body
Kevin Carmody '; we need to develop a rubric to identify what we expect from the student.

# data[].attributes.body
Kevin Carmody

Teachers should consider the typr of blog that is most appropiate for their students  to write; their are a multitude of styles but som that attracted me most were; THE REVIEW BLOG ;movies or TV shows;family news and journalistic blogs covering school events.

# data[].attributes.body
Anas Boulad: It also used to showcase a collection of the students' work in one particular area.

# data[].attributes.body
OMRAN -The blog is a very dynamic and updated tool that can be used to provide new ideas, thoughts and materials. There are 6 types of blogs but I've founded that the most helpful and interesting type is The Journalistic Blog which helps students to create their writing and they can upload different kinds of materials such as photos and videos.

# data[].attributes.body
Radwan KIbreet - Good six ways to create blogs that serve students in developing their writing skill. I would like to apply some of these six types in my classes next year. By doing so, I can follow up the progression my students is developin (publishing).

# data[].attributes.body
Anas Boulad: A blog will help students to document a project from beginning to end.

# data[].attributes.body
Bilal - The idea of "The Journalistic Blog is creative since it is relevant to the students' experience and allow all students from different levels to take part

# data[].attributes.body
Mohamed El-Deeb---  1-These blogs can be within classmates or schoolmates , they don’t need to be shared with the public 2- monetizing the whole work will be thrilling for some students 3- linking the students' own accounts on the social media with his school work will help greatly personalizing learning  4- Publishing some ss's work will help greatly and encourage the rest to participate

Tom Rymer
-Consider a blog instead of the standard presentation that I often do in class
-A blog is a highly relevant form of writing for the students
-It can be worked on over time (even the whole year) and could be a differentiated activity with an end goal
-It is helpful to break down blogs into 6 types
-The blog type used could be chosen by the student according to their interests
-It is important to have a consistent schedule of posting (once a month in class for instance)
-It could be a long - term form of assessment with feedback along the way
-The cultofpedagogy article has some useful criteria of assessment which a teacher can refer to in assigning and assessing blogs

# data[].attributes.body
Simon - An important point for us as teachers is: Define the Criteria of Assessment. This should be done before the students start with their blogs.

# data[].attributes.body
Anas Boulad:

·         People used it to build all kinds of useful, interesting things online.
There are six different kinds of blogs students could create

# data[].attributes.body
Simon - of the 6 types of Blog listed, I think the most useful in terms of our syllabus would be: Reviews. They read either a series of short stories, or a novel chapter by chapter, and then write regular reviews of what they are reading on their blog.

# data[].attributes.body
Anas Boulad:

·         First the blog has taken a kind of self-interest
