Eng 9: Tiny House Project Rubric and Checklist

We started today with the Alcohol Awareness video.

From there we discussed the Tiny House, Big Dreams design challenge and collaborated on designing a rubric.

I took our notes from the marker board, the conversation we had, and developed this single point rubric.

Tiny House, Big Dreams  Design Challenge

Single Point Rubric

Criteria	Evidence of Exceeding the Standard (clever, insightful, unique, powerful, meaningful, professional)	What Meeting the Standard Looks Like	Evidence of Needs for Improvement (gaps, missing pieces or evidence, incomplete thoughts)
Prototype Quality (MEDIA)		I like how your prototype looks like a finished product that you can present to the class; I like how there are no obvious signs that you didn’t get it finished -- even though there may be ways in which you might improve it; I like that it shows evidence you understand how to use the media you chose to solve the problem in an effective way
Text Connections (READING)		I like how your prototype clearly shows numerous accurate connections to the characters’ needs from the book; I like how your explanations include page numbers and quoted text as evidence to show that you really know what you are talking about; I like how you wrote or recorded your explanations
Facts & Figures (RESEARCH)		I like how you’ve identified the essential costs of building the prototype (roofing, exterior, heating, lumber, plumbing, doors and windows, electrical) and the essential specifications (HxWxL, sq. ft, footprint, room and feature layout) and identified the source of your numbers using a proper MLA formatted bibliography
PRESENTATION (LISTENING & SPEAKING)		I like how your presentation was clear and easily understood; even if you weren’t working from a script, you seemed very well prepared and comfortable sharing the information about your tiny house;  you were able to field and answer questions asked about your tiny house
MUGS (MUGS)		I like how any writing included is properly spelled and features proper use of its/it’s, to/too/too and capitalization
Empathy (HABITS of MIND)		I like how you clearly show an understanding of these characters’ needs and how to meet them
Timeliness (HABITS of MIND)		I like how you turned it in within 24 hours of the agreed upon due date
