Line-drawing+project

Steps in Line-Drawing Project:


 * 1) Students draw lines (or letters?) free-hand, with little instruction.
 * 2) Group looks at student work and lists what they like about the work. These are the characteristics we are looking for in excellent work.
 * 3) Students draw again, thinking about criteria.
 * 4) Create simple 4-point rubric as a class. Use anonymous work samples from the other class to create rubric, and then score the work on that rubric.
 * 5) Students try again, using the rubric to guide them. They do self-evaluations, more whole-group critiques, peer critiques, teacher critiques, of the drafts.
 * 6) Final product is scored by the teacher on the rubric.
