Using the Information Sources

Wow! You used all the project resources on your own!

You needed some teacher guidance to find information

You needed teacher help each session to find information

You could not use the project resources

Learning about Jobs

You used your three questions to learn about and compare each job

You found facts about each job to answer the questions

You found some facts about each job

You were unable to find facts about the jobs

Communicating Your Ideas

You convinced Uncle Cyrus! You clearly stated your thoughts about the job you chose and the ones you did not choose

You made a job choice and gave Uncle Cyrus reasons to choose it

You gave Uncle Cyrus some information, but not enough to make a job choice

You didn’t give reasons for Uncle Cyrus to choose a job

Teamwork

You worked together, listened to each other and made good choices about how to divide up the work

You all participated in the project and shared equally in the work

You did not always work as a team.  You needed teacher help to solve disagreements.

You did not work together to do your best on this project.  Your disagreements stopped you from doing a good job.
