Create a rubric based upon what you are assessing for. Discuss project, including rubric requirements.
Students research information from the Revolutionary war.
Mini-lessons on how to choose important information and noting sources used are taught before work on the slide show is begun. If students know how use a scanner, allow them to scan relevant pictures, or ask you to scan them and put them in a network folder. Students save their work to their network file or to a disk, and give to the teacher for rubric assessment. The students are always so proud of their work.
