Really felt empowered as we were taken though the process as if we were the students. Gave me an insight into what questions might arise and pitfalls.

This was so powerful. Students are empowered to see the forest through the trees! I thought this process was so useful for students and I'm imagining that students could use the rubric to generate questions about their own drafts for their peers to response to...for example, "Do my text features support your understanding of the content? How so?" Using the rubric, students could also give much more specific feedback to their peers.

I love this idea of immersing students in a genre and having them analyze the components to create their own rubrics! So powerful! Students will be able to create more effective blogs (or whatever genre-based writing) after this activity.

I enjoyed your presentation!  Providing this collaborative activity to evaluate and create adds even more opportunities to learn. Your presentation was organized and the questions were helpful in guiding our discussion. I can see how this activity could be adapted to various grade levels and content areas. You came across as the presenter but also as a fellow learner, open to new ideas and additional questions. Bravo!!

Lisa I love that this is something that will change the way students look at genres and process them, even after my classroom. I can't wait!

Lisa I loved the guided research aspect and share out in your demo. Your detailed responses were so thoughtful and it shows me that you care deeply about your population and really listen to them. At the end when you shared their gratitude for what they learned from student created rubrics was my favorite part, along with working in a group. These students are fortunate to have you!

I loved being able to analyze two different style of blogs to help create the rubric. I loved the students reflection on how it helped them understand the qualities that need to go in the blog and helped all students write more effectively. Wonderful presentation! Thanks so much for sharing! Will totally use this in my own classroom!

What a great way to decentralize the classroom! I feel so tied down with how the district mandates the rubric we use, but that's really for only one kind of writing. Applying this to not just different genres of writing, but just other assignments and projects in really any subject is something I definitely want to explore more. Thank you!

Lisa, you beautifully illustrated the power of analysis when tied to the creation of a rubric. Analyzing and developing together adds ownership which leads to buy-in and comprehension which leads to real reflection and accountability. I'm so relieved there are teachers like you helping writers understand genre. GREAT job!

I loved this and felt my mind opening immediately. Fills so many teaching buckets: community ownership, student engagement, genre study, teacher repositioning, and more! Excellent! --Kelly

This shared rubric building is analytic, in that students must determine qualities they want to emulate. It leverages their success (grade) in an authentic way. They have to find out what a good blog is, so they can create one. Their contributions will become the grade. At the end of the process everyone has a sense of what a good blog is, and a personal sense of ownership of ideas. This is great stuff. I wish all college classes did this! I feel like I can build a better ed blog now.

Lisa, you've given me the courage and inspiration to try this with my classes too, especially because it will formalize some of the processes I walk my students through when writing blogs and empower them. Thank you! --Daina

This was great, Lisa!  I cannot wait to try this with my students next year. I love that it gives students ownership over the assignment and they way that they are going to be graded. It seems like it would make it easier for students to know how to improve on their writing as well.

I really appreciate how your lesson empowers students to "uncover the secrets" of different genres.  By analyzing the genres and putting the features into their own words onto the rubric, makes the writing process of that genre so much more accessible and less intimidating for students.  Great idea to make the shift to student-centered instruction!

I haven't ever asked students to contribute to a rubric before, but you inspired me to try for sure. As a side note, I read a lot of Yancey at SF State and I remembered her work really well!

This can really help students in all grades understand genres better. I will use this in my class next year. I loved that creating rubrics this way really gives ownership to the students.
