1.  In your groups, you should decide on roles that are best suited to your strengths:

Manager: ensures everyone is practicing appropriate group skills, such as listening, contributing, staying on task

Recorder: writes down and enters information

Checker: finds information, proofreads, keeps group timing on track

Presenter: shares information with the rest of the class when necessary

2. Create a new wiki page.  Don’t worry about creating a title for it yet.  Record your names and roles under the subtitle: Year 1 Group.

3.  Brainstorm everything you already know about what rubrics are and how they are used in classroom learning.  Record this on your wiki page under the subtitle: Prior Knowledge.
