alice-teacher Rubrics--what do you use for grading Alice projects?

[Kenneth McCarthy]

Special thanks to James, Eileen and Elizabeth for sharing this valuable
information.  This community of Alice educators is truly a blessing, I feel
very fortunate to be a part of it.

Best regards and hope you have a great year (wow, where did marking period
1 go?).
