Agenda
1. Collaborative Seminar Rubric Refinement Sesh (Groups of 5)
  • Share general impressions of seminars:  why do we do them at Animas? What skills do they help you develop? Do you think this is something you'll use in college? real life? What seems to work  in seminars? What doesn't?
  • Do the criteria for an A, B, C and NP seem fair? Discuss any changes you'd like to see. (Reminder: for an A you MUST bring in evidence-- direct quotes or detailed paraphrasing with mention of the source!)
  • Read through the seminar rubric and make a note of any specific criteria within each category that your group doesn't think is appropriate to be assessed on during seminar.  Either rephrase them or delete them but be prepare to justify your choice.
