Blog+Rubric

0 || **Phantom** || If you were there, we couldn't see you. || 1-4 || You responded minimally to the blog prompts. You showed up, but your postings did not add new insight or concepts to our study. Your entries went something like “I agree”, “well-said”, “right on!” or “you go, girl!” followed by a couple of minimal comments. || 5-6 || You responded in a satisfactory way to the prompts, and, if possible, posted at least one substantive timely response to someone else's posting. You vaguely referred to specific parts of the readings. Mainly just a paragraph and not much else. || 7-8 ||
 * There In Spirit** ||
 * Present** ||

You responded in a satisfactory way to the prompts, posted a substantive timely response, and initiated at least one or more original thoughts, extending the topic question in a way that contributed to class understanding. You referenced specific portions of the readings in your post. || 9-10 || **Provocateur** || While staying focused on the assigned discussion topic, you went beyond the basic question to initiate interaction with others about the discussion topic. You specifically referenced the readings, lecture and/or other class material, and/or introduced additional relevant information, materials, experiences, etc. to the discussion to “kick it up a notch”. || //(borrowed and adapted with permission from Clark, National Louis University, June 2005)//
