"Adaptation: Helping Students Understand and Apply the Critical Thinking Rubric"
This
presentation will focus on the navigation techniques I created and applied to
aid my students (and me) in comprehending and understanding the rubric. After a
semester of trial and error, I came up with an idea that worked-I developed a
list of questions from the rubric that seemed to make it easier for my students
to really understand what I was saying about employing critical thinking in
their writing. They were then able to use these questions as a "checklist" as
they were drafting. This improved both the quality of the work I received and
the communication between my students and I.
