The final project contained four components: a research paper or other project, a presentation of the project, an MLA-formatted works cited page, and a final reflection. Each of the four components was worth 50 points for a total of 200 points for the finished product.
I created separate rubrics for the research paper and other projects, as they naturally contain different elements to be graded. I used no rubric for the presentation points. Instead, I awarded students all 50 points if they presented their project to the class.
Because research papers are difficult to present, I created discussion boards in Schoology that contained two students' papers. Then, I divided students among the discussion boards and required they read and comment on two papers. This way, students who chose to write research papers were still able to present their research to their classmates.
Because I wanted students to have a good working knowledge of MLA formatting by the end of the project, I made their works cited page worth as many points as the project. I also did this with their final reflections. In future iterations of this project, I will likely revise point totals to put more weight on the project and presentation.
