Student Assessment of Student Web Pages

Today you will be grading another students web page.
Go to Mr. Moloney's Homepage and click on student web pages.
Then find the student that is directly below you on the list of your classes web pages.
This is the student whose web page you will grade.


Following is a guide to help you with the grading.
But first you must create a new page on the global studies section of your page to put your grading.
You need to write the grades you gave the student for each section and the overall grade.
You also need to explain, in writing, why you gave the grades that you did.
Remember - you will be graded on how well you grade another students web page.
How well you grade another students page is worth 10 points.


This is how the grading is weighted.

Vocabulary Section
There are 20 vocabulary words that should be on the list. Each one, and its definition, is worth one point.
A student can only get all 20 points for this section if the student has all 20 words with good definitions.
A vocabulary word without a definition is worth 0 points.

Deduct points if the definitions are weak. The defintions should be well written and in the students own words. Deductions should be made if all of the students definitions are straight from the glossary of the textbook.
Use your own judgement here: if a student has all 20 vocabulary words and pretty good definitions, that might be 16-17 points.
20 vocabulary words with weak definitions might be 12 points.
15 words with weak definitions might be 9-10 points.

Digital Postcard Section
There are 3 digital postcards that should be on the site. Each one is worth 10 points.
To get 10 points for each digital postcard the postcard must have good relevent images and text. It should capture the feeling of the time and give information about the historical time or event.

Use your judgement as to how many points each postcard should be given.
Obviously - if a postcard is missing it should recieve "0" points.

Essay/Misc. Section
There should be 2 essays in this section. Each is worth 15 points.
One essay compares Absolutism to Feudalism.
The other essay compares the students fictional government to the ideas of the Enlightenment thinkers.
Use your own judgement here. Give all 30 points only if the essays are excellent and full of good information.
Deduct points if the essays are poorly written and do not provide good information.

Overall Web Page Layout
The Web Page should look good and have all the specific features listed below to earn all 20 possible points.
It should have a link that says "global studies" - or "history" on the first page of the students web page.
It should be divided up into the three sections that we discussed above.
It should have a Vocabulary section.
It should have a digital post card section with a seperate link for each postcard.
It should have an Essay section with seperate links for each essay.
Use your judgement here.
Deduct points if the site is difficult to access or difficult to read because of bad font or bad background colors.
