PERSONAL READING PROJECT
RUBRIC
The following rubric was created for the presentation
of projects relating to books chosen and read by students. The books
represented by these projects are personal choices, not books which
are read by the whole class. The areas graded are: Best Effort,
Thought and Creativity, Writing Conventions, Organization,
Appropriate Project for Content, and Originality. Each student
receives a grade based on those areas for the particular project
created.

manner so that the thoughts are easy to follow. |
The complete
work, ideas, and details are presented in a fairly neat and
organized manner. Thoughts and direction are fairly easy to
recognize. |
The complete
work, ideas, and details need more focus in order to be
considered neat and organized. Some details seem out of place,
or too much extra, unneeded information has been added. |
The complete
work, ideas, and details seem tossed together, and the project
theme is hard to follow. |

got the message across and the connection was made well with

vague. |

project stand out, and it was not presented to the audience
very well. |
