I have finished grading the RAB for everyone who submitted on time. A short comment is at the end of your RAB and the grade is in the Open Lab Gradebook. Everyone did well!
I considered the writing process. It was important for me to see your writing progress through the HWs and in our computer lab sessions as I checked in with each of you.
The conclusion was also important in my grading process. Here, I looked for thoughtful and insightful thinking. I am looking for original deep insightful thinking from your own brain.
And overall, I looked at the quality of the writing.
Here again are the factors that the RAB is graded on:
- I am looking to learn from your RAB! Did you write well enough to engage my interest as your reader? Did you gather good sources that sparked your interest and did you spread that interest and passion to me through your writing?
- Content: Is it readable and informative? Does it teach us about the topic?
- Research: Did you dig deep? Were you open to being surprised and contradicted? Did you look further for sources than the first three hits on Google?
- Follow Instructions from the Assignment: Did you follow instructions for writing Summary and Rhetorical Analysis parts? For writing Introduction and Reflection/Conclusion? Did you use the templates and guiding questions and how-to’s from the Assignment to write the different parts?
- I am looking for continuity throughout your Sources. They should all address your RQ. If there is some deviation, then you should explain this in your Reflection/Conclusion.
- Is your summary writing good enough for me to know the source without reading it myself? This takes a lot of practice. We practiced with TWO practice source entry writings in class and you worked to revise your own Summary writings.
- The conclusion was also important in my grading process. Here, I looked for thoughtful and insightful thinking. I am looking for original deep insightful thinking from your own brain.
- Genre: Remember that your three sources must be different genres: Feature or News; Opinion; non-print source.
- Presentation: Basically, can someone who is not you make sense of this visually? Did you use LABELS for each part to help a reader make sense of your document?
- Citation: If you quote something in your introduction or conclusion that’s from one or more of your sources, be sure to cite it.
- Grammar, sentence structure, punctuation.
- THE WRITING PROCESS ~~ Did you do the following ON TIME
- practice source entry writing assignments
- the 6 Open Lab HWs
- Source Entry1 Rough Draft to Google Drive
- Source Entry 2 on Open Lab
- Did you work with the tutors?
