alice-teacher term projects

Hey, Kim--
Would you be willing to share the rubric you use.  My students are also creating a final animation that they are presenting to the class.  I loved your idea of explaining solutions for problems they encountered.  I grade everything with rubrics, so I would love to see what you use.  Thanks.
Deb Jones

In the class I teach, I have the students create a final animation.  In the assignment, I share the rubric which shows the programming concepts that must be included in order to receive a certain grade.  In addition, the students present their animations to the entire class.  Not only do they show their animation but they also must share at least three problems they faced and explain what their solution was for each problem---trying to get a sense of their de-bugging skills.
