Reflecting on our Children's Book Reading performances

8th Grade TAPS students are working on applying a variety of public speaking skills (listed on the rubric below) through the context of reading to a Grade 2 book buddy.  This is part of their first unit of work that is spread across their semester in TAPS (Theater and Public Speaking), recording progress over four reading sessions.

Students collected video footage of their most recent reading performance, viewed this footage and then using this unit's rubric, graded themselves on the basis of their observations. 

Students then justified their decisions beneath the rubric, unpacking why they made the grading decisions they made.

I also viewed their performance footage, marked their rubric and gave them specific feedback, both positive and constructive, which students will be able to use and build on, in subsequent reading sessions.  Students also compared and contrasted their evaluation with mine, and note correlations and differences.
