Blogging+Criteria

TALONS students are generating their own criteria for blogging this year to be used in regular assessments of their writing.


 * Other blogging rubrics:**
 * The Chronicle of Higher Education [|4 point student blog Rubric]
 * BC Ministry of Education [|English 12 Writing Scoring Guide]

(By Victor) || There are always different variations in the sentence structure. All of the sentences have influential meaning towards the reader. The writer/blogger uses different (yet clear) words. || There are many variations in the sentence structure. There are many sentences that influence the reader. The word use varies most of the time. || There is rarely any variation in the sentence structure. There are a few sentences that impact the reader. The word use varies occasionally. || There is no variation in the sentence structure. The sentence doesn't reflect much impact. The word use is frequently repetitive. || (By Lexi) || All ideas are completely original and presented in a very creative way. This piece completely stands out from the crowd because it is so //different//! || Most ideas are original, and ideas are presented in a fairly creative way. This piece kind of stands out due to its bit of originality. || Some original ideas, although ideas could be presented in a more creative way. This piece is average and blends in with all the other pieces of writing out there. || Every word in this piece is plagiarized. Reading this story/essay was as boring as watching cows chew cud. This piece stands out only because it should be named as the dullest writing of the year. ||
 * Instructions: Paste or retype your blogging criteria in the table below.**
 * || **Exceeds Expectations** || **Meets Expectations** || **Barely Meets Expectations** || **Does Not Meet Expectations** ||
 * Style: Variety, Impact, and Word Choice/Use
 * Creativity (By Albert) || The student strays away from generic answers and content, and instead, creates something new using his/her specific talents to their advantage. The end result is produced by an “outside the box” thought process, is totally unique, stands out, and is different from all the others. || Most of the student’s work is original, with the exception of a couple details. There are many elements that come from the student’s own mind, and it is clearly shown from their work. However, there are still a few aspects that seem derivative. || There seems to be somewhat of an even quantity of both ideas created by the student, and already generated ideas in their work. Anybody looking at the student’s work can recognize his/her distinctive style, but can be also easily mistaken for another. || Little or no creativity is found in the student’s work, as it is flat, and there are barely any traces of the student’s own touch. Reading his/her work feels like reading a page out of the textbook. It is likely the student has plagiarized from an article on Wikipedia, or got sneaky with an encyclopedia entry. ||
 * Creativity
 * Content (By Conrad) || The student engages the reader to continually visit and read his/her blog posts by creating unique and catchy material. The material chosen stands out from every other blog. || The student displays good material and is able to obtain followers on his blog. The content is somewhat compelling. || The student has provided acceptable material but not quite sufficient. The content is often repetitive and does not attract much attention. || The student shows little or no work in the content of his/her blog posts. The material is very vague and not interesting and attracts little or no readers. ||
 * Organization (By Stephanie) || Materials are exceptionally well organized and sentences are connected with a smooth flow. Consistency is also present in cohesive structures. || Materials are well organized; links could occasionally be clearer but communication not impaired. There is still a flow, but there is some lack of consistency in choice of cohesive structures. Overall, there is ease of communication. || Occasional lack of organization; re-reading required for clarification of ideas. Sentence structure is "patchy". Little sense of ease of communication. || Lacking organization, unable to link ideas together. Clarification is needed. Communication often impaired by completely inappropriate or misused cohesive structures. ||
 * Creativity/Care/Effort/Whatever-you-want-to-call-it-so-long-as-it's-something-like-that (By Emily) || Blog post shows a good deal of insight into blogger’s thoughts, feelings, life or other. They seem to have put good time and thought into their post. || Blog post shows insight into blogger’s thoughts, feelings, life or other. They appear to have put some time and thought into their post. || Post shows a bit of insight into blogger’s thoughts, feelings, life or other. They seem to have put a bit of either time or thought into their post. || Post isn’t about the blogger’s thoughts, feelings, life or other. They don’t seem to have put very much or any time or thought into their post. ||

 * Content (by Kelsey) || Always complete blog posts that are interesting and easy to understand.
 * Creativity (By LNE) || The student goes off the beaten trail and goes above and beyond the task. They create something using their own specific talents and ends up with something very original and ‘never before seen’ and stands out from everything else. || The student displays quite a bit of creativity and has definitely created something interesting. You may get a slight déjà vu feeling when reading it though, because the topic may have been done before, or is a slight take off on another project. || The student has created a piece that is nice, but doesn’t stand out from all the other content on the interwebs. It displays some originality but lacks creativity or ingenuity. || The student has not created anything; they have merely hit ‘Ctrl’ + ‘C’ and ‘Ctrl’ + ‘V’. This is complete plagiarism and it would be more interesting to watch paint dry. ||

Ideas are clearly shown and are imaginative.This person went beyond expectations with unique ideas and showing them in a truly interesting way. || Good effort.Displays ideas well and has mostly original ideas. This person could have done more to present their work better and could have gotten a 4 with more effort and thought put into it. || Okay effort. Some ideas are their own and doesn't clearly show ideas. Sometimes it is hard to see what they're trying to show and most of their ideas are something you are sure you have heard before. || No originality and almost no effort made. Ideas are shown very poorly and it's hard to tell what they're trying to portray. This person either didn't try at all or is just not creative unfortunately. ||
