Success Criteria

So as promised here is the success criteria we developed between our classes. Keep this criteria in mind as you read through your books tonight and tomorrow. We'll be using this criteria to assess you when we give you your assignments. Remember -- I'm assessing your ideas not your writing. Use the graphic organizers, VoiceThread and whatever other tools help you communicate your ideas to me.
