MODULE+6+-+Using+Rubrics+for+Assessment

The lesson I used for this assignment was on persuasive writing. The level for this assignment was sixth grade. My class size for this class is small, less than 10 students.


 * Objective:** To create an original product (a type of drink) and create an advertisement (video) for the product to convince other students to choose their drink.

We discussed what was in those video games that persuaded people to want to buy them. The next step in the lesson was to create our own drinks. Some of the names we came up with were, Monster Fizz, The Beast, Smart Cola and Big Green. We created labels and paper ads for our drinks. Last we worked on scripts and storyboards. We shot videos in class (it is a small class - less than 10 students) and working in IMovie to create advertisements.
 * Lesson:** (taught over a period of four days) First we discussed the definition of persuasion. Next we talked about times that students have been persuaded and then we watched some youtube ads for video games.

The rubric was created to grade the final product (the ad for the drink). Here are the completed rubrics of three students in that class. I left off the names for FERPA reasons.
