This fine looking rubric would provide wonderful clarity for students looking to score highly on this assignment. As a teacher, I definitely fail if my assignments keep cycling in the same redundancy. I shall need novelty and relevance. Perhaps I could assign a paper, poetry, have the students write a short play script, pass out those envious wordsearches, do something technological (!), or assign this timeline project. I have just finished reading My Name is Asher Lev in my World Literature class and I thoroughly enjoyed. So, I pretended as if I would have my English class read it and now we are in the "follow-up" process. All the have to do is nab some huge butcher paper and chart up the sequences of the book. However, they will find that they will need to douse those empty spaces with creativity. This could be completed with drawings, online printouts, etc. However, they will also see a requirement for neatness; simply tarting up pictures with the famous scotch tape may not win too many points. Overall, this is an assignment that I may give part of a day to work on in class. Hypothetically, I would notify them of the assignment on a Monday and have it due for Thursday or Friday.
