Leadership Project 1: Blogs

Use your notes from the Glows and Grows evaluation to assess ONE of your peers' work on the presentation of the Leadership projects. You may not assess your own presentation and you must identify the presentation and the choice that the group presented so your blog posting can be properly credited. 

In your extended paragraph (8-10 sentences), write an analysis of the group in terms of:  

What worked? What didn't? Remember to check the language of the rubric so that you can utilize that as you assess or give an overview analysis of the presentation.

After you have posted, respond to another classmate. Use the rubric as your guide.

REMEMBER TO WRITE YOUR NAME ON THE POST BEFORE YOU SEND IT.
