State Research Project Rubric
Do you assign a state research project? This rubric was designed to grade a state research presentation using standards-based grading (1-4 rubric). It is a great tool to quickly grade student work. In my classroom, each student chooses a US state to research and creates a PowerPoint presentation or Google Slide to demonstrate the knowledge that they learned. The main categories in this rubric come from the MA State Standards.

Pioneer Life Project
This is a fun project that really tests the self-will of the students!

They will also have chores to do around their home, as well as do good deeds for friends, family and neighbors!
