The Three Different Kinds of Rubrics

This week in class we discussed three different types of rubrics that we could use for the rubric part of the unit plan.

The first is holistic rubric, which is the most general kind. This rubric list three to five levels of performance and has broad descriptions that describe each level. One advantage of the holistic rubric is it is very easy on the teacher and creating one takes less time then the others. The biggest disadvantage is that it doesn't provide a targeted feedback to the students. This means that students are very unlikely to learn from the assignments.

The second is the analytic rubric, which breaks down the characteristics  into parts that defines which are strong and ones that could be place for improvement. The biggest advantage is that allows the student to get a better understanding on why they got a certain score. The first disadvantage is that it takes a very long time to create . The second is that most students will not likely not read the whole thing.

However, it doesn't list every single way a students exceeds or what needs work. The first advantage is that it doesn't have much on it so students are more likely going to read what they got. The second is that the exceeds and areas that need work are open ended. The disadvantage is it takes a lot of time to write for the teacher because of how open-ended the rubric is. 








I think the one that I'm going to use is the single-point because it allows the student a chance to exceed on their own. to be honest it still have a chance to change.

    Kayla,
    Great examples! I personally like the analytic rubric myself. But the single point is what I would use once I thought my students had an idea of how to exceed. I'm thinking more about using the analytic toward the beginning of the school year and the single point once I think they've got the idea. Then interchange them depending on how in depth I expect them to be on their assignment.
    You had great examples! I think anyone could have looked at your blog and know exactly how to format a rubric! Awesome post!

    Kayla,
    Great explanation of each rubric! I'm with you though. I think I will be using the single-point rubric a lot too. I like it because it is more personal. I will be able to tell the students exactly why they received the grades they did versus the "did not meet requirements". Well, that could mean anything. I like being able to be clear about why students received the grade they did.

Madeline Hunter Lesson Plan Design

     The Madeline Hunter lesson plan is a seven parts, that include objectives, standards, anticipatory set, teaching [input, modeling, and check for understanding], guided practice, closure, and independent practice. I find this plan easy to follow because it breaks it down into simple steps. There are several things I find difficult with this lesson plan design. The first being research- based strategies because I need to get more comfortable using then in my lesson. The next being extension and modification because I find it difficult to come up with them without having knowledge of the education level of students.  I know that it just takes practice when writing lesson plans, so I'm excited to get better at it. That is why I love these courses because I get a chance to learn new things.

Fun Ways to Teach Vocabulary

http://theteachaholic.blogspot.com/2012/03/word-catchers.html The first fun way to teach vocabulary is to do something called the word catchers. Where the teacher asked the student if they have heard any word catchers for today. The student must tell the teacher when/where they hear/saw the word and give the word in the context in which they encountered it. When the student uses a current or past word they get a reward. This would be a great tool to use to get students really excited to learn different vocab words. As we all know learning Vocabulary can be very boring. The second fun way to teach vocabulary is to have students draw the words to help them learn it. Drawing really helps students visualize the words being taught and helps them with comprehension. I think it important that teachers let the students be creative with their drawings and have them make a funny picture because this will make the vocabulary more meaningful when they get to have a little bit of fun....
