The word search grading rubric and the final check list are available on the home page.
Grading and Requirements
1. The project (NoodleTools plus progress checks plus final paper) will occupy most of the third quarter. You cannot pass the quarter without completing the research and the paper.
2. Your final paper should be 5-10 typed, 12 font, double-spaced pages.
3. Your NoodleTools account and Research Folder must reflect all of your work, in and out of class, regarding the process. Please remember that this should be your own work – not your friend’s, not your parent’s, and not your tutor’s.
4. Your final paper must refer to all 12 of the requirements listed.
5. Your paper should show signs of reflection and depth – do more than just explain ordinary meanings and skim the surface. Be sure that your writing style reflects your clear and honest voice, and your honest attempts to show that you have taken the assignment seriously.
6. Each paragraph should begin with a topic sentence that explains the contents of that paragraph.
7. Use clear and logical transitions between paragraphs and ideas.
8. Pay attention to style, word choice, usage and mechanics.
9. DOCUMENT (CITE SOURCES) CORRECTLY IN MLA FORMAT. Documentation – the process of creating an accurate Works Cited page and source citations in the body of your paper – is a large part of the entire Word Search grade. Here’s your chance to learn these skills!
10. Illustrations are often nice to have.
11. I hope that you enjoy it – at least after it’s done.
