Outcomes+and+Rubrics

This page serves as a reference point for students so that they are aware of the outcomes for this project as well as the rubrics that they will be assessed on.

 Students will be expected to identify and use weather related folklore to predict weather (105-2)

 As well, identify, construct, and use instruments to measure weather information (204-8, 205-4, 205-10)

 Students will also record observations using instruments to describe weather in terms of temperature, wind speed, wind direction, precipitation, and cloud cover (205-7, 300-13)   Students will use a variety of sources to gather information to describe the key features of a variety of weather systems (205-8, 302-11)

 Critical thinking and problem solving has been utilized when working as group members. Students have selected a weatherlore and have explored how this has been used within the Maritimes. Students have recorded observations and organized data on the classroom blog. Students have used a variety of resources to collect data and have made a contribution to the class blog. Students have devised a method of conducting interviews and a way of representing this information on the blog. Quality of written presentation is well organized, and editing skills have been utilized. ||< **Medium ** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">Group makes a conscious effort to partake in critical thinking and problem solving within most work periods. Students selected weatherlore but required more focus on its representation within the Maritimes. Student’s collection of data was well represented on the classroom blog, but could also use more attention to organization. Students need to review the editing process again before their final posts on the blog. Students were creative with their representation of learning and data. ||< <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">**<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 19px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">Low ** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">Students were unsuccessful in consistently producing critical thinking and problem solving skills throughout group work. Students did select a weatherlore but lacked focus on Maritime connections. Students did not conduct unique and creative research and did not incorporate an interview into their final project. Students need to increase their contributions to the class blog and need to review their editing process. ||
