COORDINATE SYSTEMS: GRADING LETTER TO ZAP #1

You and your partner will need:

  • another pair's letter to Zap
  • these grading guidelines
  • the LETTER TO ZAP #1 guidelines
  • paper, pen(cil), maybe post-its

Guidelines for Grading

The grade is out of 10 points, but you and your partner need to decide how to allocate those points. (You may give extra credit if you feel it's justified.)

Did the letter fulfill the criteria on the LETTER TO ZAP #1 guidelines? Examples: diagrams, real-life examples. (Look at the sheet!)

Did the explanations in the letter make sense? Was anything confusing?

Was the letter legible and well-organized? Was it easy to find diagrams/drawings/formulas that the letter referred to?

Were the calculations and formulas accurate? WARNING: Ms. Lee will take off points from graders who let mistakes slip through.

Write a grade report for the letter including everything above. (Don't forget to include the grade!)

As always, BE POLITE and BE CONSTRUCTIVE.
