This is your final Blog for WID Online. Please read Bean, Chapter 14 "Using Rubrics to Develop and Apply Grading Criteria" and Chapter 9, "Helping Students Read Difficult Texts."
For this blog you will need to post a staged essay for your course. e would like you to design and share the stages of this assignment on the blog. Students may do one longer staged essay or two (or more) shorter pieces that are combined with a reflection.
As you are creating the essay(s) topic(s) you should develop a basic rubric for it using Bean's models or creating your own. (Bean's generic rubric appears on page 271, but you should create one that fits your staged essay well.)
Writing Fellows and I will help you with this process and are available for blog or email conversations about all parts of your WID portfolio. With the completion of this blog, and the addition of samples of student work (which I will make a space for in Blog # 7) your portfolio should be complete.
A document entitled "WID Staged Writing Assignment Guidelines" may be found under course documents.
Please feel free to reach out to us on the blog and if anyone wants to meet to discuss this assignment, please contact me through the blog or at vanph@lagcc.cuny.edu. and I or one of the Writing Fellows will meet with you.
