Interactive Notebook Student Evaluation Rubric
Here is one example of a rubric I have used when implementing interactive notebooks in my geography courses. The HOTLINK is how students link the information they were given by the teacher to their lives. They need to be able to make connections to course work that they can relate to in some way, shape, or form. I typically will give all points for really detailed pics/writing even though the rubric asks for more. Let's face it, high school kids are busy with sports, clubs, other classes, boy/gi

Speech self-reflection guide
This is a simple way for students to think about their own speaking performance. The questions focus their thinking on specifics on both content and technique.
Open-ended questions like, "How do you think you did on your speech" aren't helpful for a student as they give no parameters. Inevitably the answer you'll receive to this question is simply, "pretty bad" or "pretty good". This sheet forces them to address WHAT was "bad" or "good".

Importance of learning English language arts

They are the foundation for all other types of learning as students must rely on ELA skills to master content from other subject areas and communicate what they’ve learned.
Strong reading skills can help students make sense of written content, and gather information for further analysis. Writing skills can help students articulate their ideas, construct arguments, and synthesize information. And speaking and listening skills empower students to clearly present their ideas, participate in group discussions, and collaborate with their classmates. This is why teaching English language arts is critically important for student’s success in school and beyond.
