Project Scoring Guide

Students meet in small groups to brainstorm ideas while the teacher listens to their ideas to gauge their interest level and to begin to identify roles that students might assume during the project. Students create criteria for choosing an organization which is used during the presentations. This criteria is used to select an organization and reveals the decision making process used to weigh and evaluate the needs of each organization, student interest, and the value added by the students’ work. Students develop questions for the client, which are reviewed by the teacher to ensure that students are on track and will be prepared for the client meeting. During the project work, students create a project plan to guide the project development. The plan is also used as a tool to discuss the project with the client and for teachers to track students’ work. Before students delve into final products, they share their mock-ups with the class and get feedback for revisions. A project scoring guide helps to guide work and ensure success. Students complete a final reflection and engage in a discussion about the project to share their learning and provide feedback.
