I was excited to read your first blog posts this morning. Many of you shared great insights about the story, using detail to explain your analysis and commenting not just on the question but on the insights of your peers as well.
To be clear, the blog is a place for a conversation about the reading. This conversation works best when people are sharing their thinking and insights in a thoughtful and detailed way. To ensure that everyone is taking time to post on the blog with care, you will be graded on your blog posts on a regular basis. The following are the criteria for how a blog post will be graded:
Grade: 1
Filled with detail and insight. Post moves beyond a summary of the reading and focuses on analysis. Specific examples from the text support your thinking. You answer not just the question, but you also respond to the comments of your peers as well. It is clear that you reread your posting before submitting it (little or no spelling and grammatical errors).
Grade: 2
Answer the question with a good amount of detail or insight. Some example used to support your thinking. Even more detail and development would enhance your explanation. Some issues with clarity and proofreading.
Grade: 3
A less detailed answer. Some interesting insights but little evidence or analysis present. Significant clarity or proofreading issues.
Grade: 4
Little detail or analysis. The question is answered without evidence from the reading or any analysis. Significant clarity issues.
Grade: 5
Little or no evidence that you completed the reading. Your comment is brief and does not adequately address the question.
