Love this book report menu kit. I've used it three times this semester! It has given me great ideas to use in my classroom. I used it three times, but not the fourth and my students are sad that they have to write a plain old book report essay. Thank you!

Devin Warfield
Hello! I just downloaded your product, and I really like the options that the menu gives to the students; however, while looking at all of them, I began thinking of how I would grade each one. I started feeling overwhelmed thinking about making rubrics for each one, which, in my opinion, would be the best. The "song" option, for instance. Do you have suggestions on how to grade them? Thanks!
January 20, 2013
MrHughes (TpT Seller)
Greetings!
Thanks for this great question. I appreciate your concern about grading. I made one rubric that covered ALL the projects. I agree that a separate one for each would be ideal, but found that by having a rubric that was 50% presentation and 50% project, I was able to grade in a consistent way. I am always hesitant to include rubrics because all teachers have a difference of opinion when it comes to points and levels.
My rubric if VERY basic. If you would like me to share a copy with you so you can get an idea of what I did, you can e-mail me at: mrhughestptrequests@gmail.com and I would love to share it with you! :)
I hope this helps. If you don't like my rubric, you could always make rubrics as students choose those projects so you would only be making a few at a time.
Thanks again,
