Students Create Own Blog Rubrics

My students are learning about blogs and blogging this week. The first learning target is:  I can create a learning rubric for blogging. I split them up in to groups of three or four and one of them created a google sheet. After the dust settled, the google sheet was shared to all of their group members. then each group had to find a definition of a blog. We shared the definitions with the whole class and decided on "a regular updated website or webpage, typically run by one individual or group that is written in an informal or conversational style". We read a few blogs and then they had to create their own blog rubric. It has been a very surprising project as the students are very good at finding information and deciding what they want as their rubric. Tomorrow we will be finishing up on the rubrics and I will share one with you.
