The teacher makes copies of each paper. Five copies each are all that are necessary if no group exceeds five members. Rubrics are copied for students to use in scoring in the next day's activities. Student groups also provide two suggestions or questions about each newspaper they evaluate. In the last ten minutes, students as a whole class discuss what they found interesting and what they liked about other papers.
First students do a self-evaluation.
Secondly the following rubric is used to score groups' newspapers. Reasonable is defined for them before they attempt to self-evaluate. Themes include major ideas or beliefs the author shows, supports, or explores. Characters should include main and minor characters, both protagonists and antagonists. Setting refers to the places where the events of the story occur.
