Assessment

Students' final stories will be assessed by two different rubrics. The first rubric will be the one that they have created for the criteria of a fairy tale. Their newly written fairy tale must include a setting, universal characters, a battle between good and evil, a moral and a happy ending where each character gets what they deserve. Their illustrations will be based on another rubric which includes use of the compositional elements we have learned, creating characters which exemplify their personality traits, creating two page layouts, and incorporating the text and images successfully. Students will complete peer evaluations of each other's work using these criteria, and will also complete their own self-evaluation.
