Post-Conference Lessons - 2 or 3 days
1. Review the Peace Conference / Students complete self evaluations using the Rubric provided. Mr. Fitton will staple self evaluations to his evaluations so that students may engage in a conversation about grading if they have a significantly different opinion of their performance than Mr. Fitton. Students should also use this as an opportunity to step inside the shoes of a marker and to see how the grading process works. This will help them improve in the future.
