Jim's Rubric -- How do I get to see it?
First of all, thanks, Jeana, for setting up the blog. I will encourage everyone here at PHS to get on also. I noticed the invitation Jena sent ended up in my spam folder. We may need to let everyone know to look there for their invitation.
Second, the hyperlinks won't let me view Jim's rubric. I assume Jim has to allow permission. If Jim doesn't get on soon, can we think of another way to get it?
Besides comparing the rubrics, it might also be useful to talk about how we are introducing, directing, and informally assessing argument writing. We might also want to respond to issues and ideas from Hillocks' book. I'd sure like to know what Jim has used from the book and how well he sees it working.
What do you all think?

Where to share for our collaboration
Welcome to our blog! Jeana Rock created this site, but each of you have administrative powers to change what you will. She is not that experienced of a blogger.
This blog was created for a place to collaborate between official meetings. Our continuing conversations will help us meets the needs of our group and our students as we share ideas and opinions here.
The rules for our face-to-face collaboration apply here as well.
The first item of discussion is the rubric we will use to grade argumentative essays. Two models were presented (Jim's to a small group after last collaboration) and we would like to see some discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of each, then come to a general consensus of what would be the most effective way to grade these papers.
Here are the links to Google Docs: Jim's rubric and PHS's rubric
