Blog Rubric

Accuracy of Content- how on topic is the blog, is it connected to what we are learning, does it answer the question? - 20%

Applications and critical thinking- does the blog show personal connections and upper level thinking?- 25%


Writing clarity and readability- spelling, grammar, is the entry easily read, or are there distractions within the writing? -20%


Creativity, expression of ideas- does the entry express you as an individual, are your own ideas being shown? How is the appearance of your blog: pleasing, organized, distracting, chaotic?- 25%

Timeliness- was the assignment handed in on time?- 10%

  1. Hello Jess,

    I love your creative backgrounds but it is a little hard to read. Again, I know that you love red and black and especially for Valentine's it is a nice touch.

    I also love your photos and how you used Photobucket to upload them. We will be using Photobucket for the Photogallery project.

    I'm glad that you like to take photos and maybe you could work with your brothers to do a lesson.

    The "life at Wells" photo reminds me that Spring will come soon.

    OK. About the blog rubric. For 10 points, 100%, you have 6 categories: Accuracy which reminds me of Alice's Correctness. I like the idea but I'm not sure if Accuracy is the right word. Would Topic Analysis be better?

    With regards to Application and Critical Thinking, why have them in one category? Should they be separated. Some people can analyze well but not make affective connections and viceversa.

    I like your Creativity category. How do you measure it? You give pleasing, chaotic, distracting? These can be both positive and negative. For example, the hearts are distracting but they are pleasing. Could creativity be included in Blog Organization? Then use it as a subcategory?

    Keep posting!

  2. I feel rather useless here. Everything makes perfect sense. I like the way you laid out the definitions of the categories and have the percentages.

    And I really like incorporating on-topicness with "accuracy". That was the hardest time I had; trying to cover everything without going on forever.

  4. I like your blog rubric. I pretty much accommodates for everything and it's easy to understand.
