Essential Question

How well does your product answer the essential question "How do our life experiences connect us to the heroic monomyth?" <BR>
(ELA Reading)

Luke Skywalker

I love how you answer one or more essential questions by showcasing unique and powerful insights and including rich evidence to back up your thinking. I'm impressed that you took your thinking to the next level.
Indiana Jones

I like how you answer the essential question by including relevant insights and enough evidence to back up your thinking. I'm pleased to see you accomplished the task at hand.
Howard the Duck

It seems your product has not answered the question completely -- yet. I can see some interesting things happening. How might you include more evidence to back up your ideas? How else might you answer the essential question?
Jar Jar . . . ugh . . .

What's up? I think you spent too much time watching the original Footloose and singing "I'm Holding Out for a Hero" rather than working on this project. How can I help?
Heroic Cycle/Monomyth

To what extent does your product clearly demonstrate your/your character's experiences in the heroic cycle?<BR>
(ELA MEDIA/WRITING)

Luke Skywalker

I love how your product clearly conveys your/your character's experience in the heroic cycle and does so in a unique, clever, and/or original way
Indiana Jones

I like how your product clearly conveys your/your character's experience in the heroic cycle. I'm pleased to see you accomplished the task at hand.
Howard the Duck

Product conveys your/your character's experience in the heroic cycle but leaves more questions than answers and requires additional explanation. What changes would you make to the project at this point? Would a review of heroic cycle help?
Jar Jar . . . ugh . . .

What's up? This feels more like you are struggling with mono than discussing heroes. How can I help?
Vocabulary

To what extent do you use found vocabulary in your product?<BR>
(ELA VOCAB)

Luke Skywalker

I love how you effectively use 6 or more found vocab words throughout your project.
Indiana Jones

I like how you effectively use 5 found vocab words
Howard the Duck

I noticed you effectively use only 4 found vocab words or I noticed you had to use the words I provided you. How might you find other unknown and helpful words in the reading(s)?
Jar Jar . . . ugh . . .

What's up? It seems you think vocab is for dweebs and dumb people and stuff. How can I help you find the vocab you plan to use in your project?
Project Reflection

How well have you described the process, content, and outcome of your project? (WRITING)

Luke Skywalker

I love how you use specific examples to show your process of developing your project. I'm impressed by your honesty, how your thinking goes to the next level beyond the surface answers, and your writing voice.
Indiana Jones

I like that you use specific examples to show your process of developing your project. I'm pleased that you included enough details to make each section clear. Your voice feels ordinary, but harmless.
Howard the Duck

I noticed you didn't seem to include many details in your reflection. How do you feel about your over project? What details were important to you getting this far with it? How might you add some personality to your essay?
Jar Jar . . . ugh . . .

What's up? This doesn't seem to be discuss processes, content or outcomes. It's hard to tell what you've done here. How can I help you back on track?

How professional does your product look in terms of MUGS and aesthetic (looks) quality?<BR>
(MUGS)

Indiana Jones

I like that your work is free of errors. (Or at least free of ones that I noticed.)

Jar Jar . . . ugh . . .

What's up? Y u no use spl chk? It feels like you may not have even taken the time to check it out. How can I help you with your MUGS?
Timeliness

How On Time Was Your Project?<BR>
(ACADEMIC INITIATIVE)

Luke Skywalker

I love how you turned your product in on time -- even earlier!
Indiana Jones

I like how you turned your product by the end of the day after the due date. That's only one day late and that's okay.
Howard the Duck

I noticed your product is passed in up to one week late. What caused it to be so late? How might you keep that from happening again?
Jar Jar . . . ugh . . .

What's up? Your product was passed in more than one week late. How might we keep this from happening again?
