We think there might be a Number 2...does anyone have any thoughts? I think this is pretty good, def. going in the direction we want. If you were going to put a number 2 maybe it could have something to do with the number of times where the student might be able to gain understanding of the Big Idea. But I'm not sure that you should include that. - Raquel

Has the rubric addressed assimilate? They have numerous opportunites to "get" and "understand", but have we established criteria that shows that they truly have assimilated this? What are the indicators that we need to show that a student has assimilated the information? -Bud
