Grading success...
Grades are due at 8 a.m. tomorrow morning. And for the first time in a very long time, I have all of issue 1 graded (well, everyone who turned in their stories and grade sheets). It felt pretty good to be able to have an accurate grade for these guys at the mid-term.
I'm also really happy about grading their stories now. Instead of discussing them during a grade meeting, I take them home with the grade sheets that I use in JW1 and I evaluate them and write comments. I feel like I'm giving them better feedback than when I tried to fit it all into a five minute meeting. We'll see what they say when they get them back.
This Tuesday is layout for Issue 2. I'm a little nervous because we only had one week to work on stories. I'm not sure everyone did a thorough job on reporting. We'll see though. They have surprised before.
Okay, now I have to get to work on JW1 grading.
