Group Project Grades?

You wish, punk! (and so do I )-':  )

In case you're wondering how you'll be graded, here's my rough rubric:

Rhetorically Smart (Full five points -- document demonstrates an awareness of audience, purpose, and form. It is also complete and polished)
Rhetorically Aware (Four Points -- document demonstrates an awareness of audience, purpose and form, but is either unfinished/unpolished, or could have been approached in a more effective manner).
Rhetorically Average (Three points -- document is missing one of the crucial elements -- audience, purpose, context!)
Rhetorically Dull (Two Points -- document is missing two elements! and/or is unfinished/sloppy)
Rhetorical Fail (One point -- you know where this is going)


And for the reflective essay:

 1. How does the author describe the public document in their essay? There should be enough detail to get an idea of what is being described.

2. How does the author address the document's purpose? In other words, why was the public document created? Does the author give reasons for choosing this purpose?

3. How does the author address the document's audience? The audience should be a specific, targeted group of people. Are there any secondary audiences? How are they addressed? Does the author give reasons for choosing this specific audience?

4. Does the author include a detailed narrative in the project about who contributed what?

5. How does the author bring research (inquiry) into their discussion of their document? A works cited page should also be included.


For the Presentation:

1. Do the presenters effectively use their alotted time? Presentation should be between 5-10 minutes.
2. Do the presenters communicate with the audience? (I.e -- voice, body language, tone, etc)
3. Content of the presentation -- do the presenters go in depth in describing their document? How do they explain their rhetorical decisions to the audience?
4. Does each participant contribute to the presentation? 
5. Are they ready to present on their due date? This is like, free points guys. Just be ready.
