Rubric for Culture Presentations

Estimad@s estudiantes,

Below, you will find the rubric I will use to grade the culture / glogster presentations. As it indicates, you will be graded on the impact your project has on recipient/audience of your poster, as well as the strength of the information and the organization of the material presented. You work will be classified as meeting the characteristics of one of the four levels (distinguished, proficient, apprentice or novice) for both of the categories. This rubric and the descriptions should give you a clearer idea of what your poster is expected to achieve, and how you are expected to present it.

General instructions for submission: All components should be brought with you to class on the due date. Late submissions will not be accepted, and absence from class will not be sufficient excuse for accepting late material. Not meeting any of the specifications listed below (submission of poster & rubric) will result in loss of points from final project grade. If there are any doubts about anything related to the project or the grade, questions should be made before the start of class on the project due date. Lack of understanding (followed by lack of asking for an explanation) will not be an excuse for lateness or non-submission.

Submission of Poster: As stated earlier, the poster should be printed on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. Your name should be written on the back of your poster in such a way that it is not visible through the paper. You do not need to print in color. If you feel the clarity of your poster's contents is significantly decreased in printing it, you may bring in--in addition to the printed version--a laptop to allow for your classmates to see the poster. You must still submit a printed version.

Submission of Rubric: Please bring a copy of this rubric along with your poster. You should print this on a separate sheet with at least five skipped lines between the descriptions of "Awareness of Audience" and "Strength of Material, Organization".

¡Gracias!
