A students score of fifteen to twenty on this rubric indicates proficiency in the first two objectives. Including at least f ive pages in the book allows for a clear beginning and end to the narrative with at least three details in the middle. Including at least one complete sentence and one detailed illustration on each page which detail and clarify the students ideas, thoughts , and/or feeling indicates proficiency in the second objective. Having the books pages in logical order demonstrates proficiency in taking the information found from the investigation and turning it into a narrative (which is stated in the first standard and included in the second objective). Including all or most of the details from the Family History worksheet indicates that investigation into the family history has taken place and been processed by the student (first objective). An informal, summative assessment will also be included. This takes place in the form of the students presentations. I will informally assess whether each student is describing (through reading his or her book aloud) his or her thoughts and feelings about the topic. This assessment addresses the third objective.
