Survey











Students always struggle with time management. Everyone has their own "minor addictions" that seem to consume all their time. For many, these addictions include television-, internet-, or video game-related activities. Recognizing these addictions and the amount of time that is lost in them is the first step to solving the problem.

This survey is designed to create awareness and the opportunity to seek change in habits. When students complain about not having enough time, all they need to do is reflect on the amount of time they waste on unnecessary activities. This is only the first step, however. Follow-up is important in maintaining the goal.

Ribric for History Class

This is my rubric for a history role play project (click on the pic to enlarge).



This rubric aptly reflects the concepts of grading that I intend to adopt in my teaching. That is, I will be focusing much more on the experience of information rather than the regurgitation of it. Students will be asked to study and experience the contexts of the subject under study, whether history or literature. They will always be asked to pursue knowledge beyond classroom discussions and to display this knowledge in coherent, creative mediums.

I can use this rubric on any group projects regarding historical study as long as the final product of the project is some form of interactive presentation.
