Objectives Read and Reflect

I have always used K-W-L charts in my World and American History classes. The charts are helpful in finding out background knowledge, building enthusiasm about the new unit, and setting objectives for the students. I feel having students create personal objectives is a good way to foster independent learning. This will also help enhance their learning about the new unit, as well as, working with other students who have similar interests as they do on a project or assignment.

I liked using the website RubiStar because the rubrics are easy to create. RubriStar also gives you the opportunity to customize the grading system to your own units and this gives the students the ability to evaluate their own daily progress on their projects.
