Correct spelling, punctuation, capitalization, grammar and usage. All conventions contribute clarity and style. Short story is original, is enjoyable, and provokes thought. Includes five or more ideas to counting book (i.e., What I Saw on Mackinac: A Counting Book) and effectively matches photos/clip art/images to text.
Few errors found with spelling, punctuation and capitalization. Problems with grammar or usage are not serious enough to distort meaning of story. Short story is original and interesting. Might have included less than five ideas (i.e., What I Saw on Mackinac: A Counting Book) Photos/ clip art/images are matched to text. Images satisfactorily contribute to the content/meaning of the picture book. ‘Tips’ were used at times, but not on all photos. Some different camera angles and techniques (photo manipulation) were used. Some images from the Internet are properly cited using APA format (Note: List references at the end of reflection).
Many spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and usage errors present. Short story is not very engaging for the reader. Less than four ideas (i.e., What I Saw on Mackinac: A Counting Book) are described. Photos/ clip art/ images do not effectively match text.
Spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and usage errors are unacceptable. Short story does not follow the assignment guidelines and/or does not engage the reader at all.
Focal points of images are not obvious and ‘tips’ were not used in the photos selected. Photos used do not match the content or meaning expressed in the book. None of the photos were manipulated to enhance their look or representation of content. Images from the Internet are not properly cited using APA format. (Note: List references at the end of reflection). Did not write clear learning objectives for this activity. (Include this part at the top of your written reflection.)
Digital photos were not original or not used in book (may be some approved exceptions). Images from the Internet that are used in the project are not cited and are not found at the end of the reflection.
Images follow ‘tips’ given in class (e.g. follow the horizon, rule of thirds, up close, flash, macro). Images used are high quality and demonstrate a very creative approach to the assignment. Highly unique camera angles and techniques (photo manipulation) are used to make the images visually interesting. Images accessed from the Internet are properly cited using APA format (Note: List references at the end of reflection). Two learning objectives were written for the activity. Each objective includes clear conditions, a behavioral verb, and criteria. (Include this part at the top of your written reflection.)
Objective(s) written do not compliment activity – did not include all three parts of a wellwritten objective. Only one learning objective was written for the activity. (Include this part at the top of your written reflection.)
No learning objectives included.
