[quote=Anonymous]I'll have students grade each other's work on mid-stages of projects or more complex writing/problem solving. They use their student ID's and I swap class periods so they aren't grading anyone in their class. I'll lead the class on going through the rubric and telling them how to score. They pay so much more attention to the rubric when they are grading someone else's work (and while they are frantically thinking if they included the parts they are grading). Having students look at other student work is helpful because they see a range of work, both good and bad, and can learn what to do and what not to do from that. Grading as a class means that students can review the material while it is fresh in their minds and they get feedback much more quickly than if the teacher took two weeks to get through grading and commenting on 150 students' papers. Students are also much more willing to look at the feedback they got and to make improvements, because they understand the rubric better.[/quote]
