Gathering Information

You found important information on all of the Colonial regions and the three strands!

You have gathered a lot of information that clearly relates to your occupation

You gathered some information for each region and strand.

Most of the information was related to your occupation.

You found information on some of the strands and some of the regions.

You have some blank areas in your note taking.

You did not find the information you needed to be able to compare the regions. 

There are many blank sections on your notes sheet or the information is not useful.

Analyzing Information

You went above and beyond the expectations! 

You learned a lot about all the Colonial regions, and you taught us a lot through your letter.  Way to go!!

You understand the differences between the Colonial regions.  

You were able to describe at least one region very clearly.

 

You have a limited understanding of the Colonial regions.  

Your letter did not make clear the difference between the three regions.

 

You did not show an understanding of the different Colonial regions.  

You did not gather useful information for your letter.

Teamwork

You used one another's strengths

You used your disagreements as opportunities to solve problems and reach new understandings.

You all participated in this project, and shared the work.  

You solved disagreements respectfully

You did not always work cooperatively.  

You needed the teacher's help to solve disagreements.  

You did not work together to do your best on this project.  

Disagreements and disrespectful interactions got in the way of doing a good job.

Communication

You have convinced your family!  

You were not only clear and organized, but persuasive as well! You clearly stated why you chose the region you did and why you didn't choose the others.

Your letter is clear and organized.  

You clearly stated why you chose the region you did. Your family could see the link between your occupation and the region you chose.

You definitely have some ideas to share, but your family has trouble putting all of the pieces together.  

Your family will probably not choose to move to America based on the information gave them. 

Your letter was not persuasive, and did not show how your occupation fit into the regions.

Your family will not decide to join you in America.
