Students create flat "selves," write friendly letters, address envelopes, and then send their letters and flat "selves" to new locations for adventure and fun! The letters require the recipients to return LOTS of goodies to the student! When the adventure is over, students will take their goodies and create a scrapbook. AND it integrates curriculum across ALL content areas - reading, language arts/writing, math, science, and social studies! However, if you like being original, and want to use your own words, Rubistar allows you to do that, and that’s one thing I like about it.Want to do Flat Stanley, but feel like your kiddos are too old for it? NO WAY! Flat Stanley is not just for primary grades! This project guide is a tweaked version of the original project, and these activites are great for intermediate grades. The thing I do like about it though, is that it provides a lot of different types of rubrics, and if you’re not sure what your students should be graded on, it provides the possibilities for you, you just pick which one you want. The other one that I use is also great, it’s just that you can’t create one with your words. I used to use something else, I forgot what it’s called, but I chose to use Rubistar because it allowed me to make my own rubric with my own words and so on. The chose Rubistar to create my Flat Stanley rubric. It just makes grading easier for the teacher, and clearer for students and parents with questions. Most times, students are not always sure how to complete a task because they keep wondering, “What does she want me to do? What will I be graded on?” Rubrics prepare students, and puts them at ease when they know what to do.Īlthough rubrics may take time to think through and create, they are a big life saver at the end. Rubrics not only help me determine grades, but it can also be used to guide students through the activity. Rubrics really do set clear expectations and explanations.
I mean what would you say when your student or a parent asks how is this an “A” or why is that a 90% and that one a 98%. It really puts things in perspective when you are trying to figure out how to grade a student. Since I have learned about rubrics, I have depended on them greatly to help me assess the activities that I prepare for unit plans that we have to create.
