i have learned about creating and scoring rubrics from a workshop on 6 traits. it wasn't specifically designed to teach me about creating or scoring rubrics, so i might know only enough to get me in trouble. 1 5.3%
i think it is very important for a student to go to the higher level thinking stage as opposed to rote memorization. making connections by going to that higher stage helps them see associations between things and increases their comprehension and retention. 1 5.3%
i hope i understood what you wanted. i took each word and said how important it was that the student be able to preform this activity with a certain subject area. 1 5.3%

i think these are skills which we would assess our students on. i think it also wants us to think about which of these skills we, as teachers, deem important enough for our students to master. iknow that paper and pencil tests are being debunked but i also know that eventually paper and pencil tests is what they'll get. i try to be a realist. if there are other means of assessments they have to be within the same context as a test, maybe a different type otherwise how does one know if the student is doing the work. 1 5.3%
it makes me want to learn more! i was a little confused at first as to what was being asked in question #7 on...what was the intellectual activity...then i figured aout i was thinking about the value of hte final word. 1 5.3%
on questions 7-15, i'm not sure if i am understanding the questioning, but, once again, i think the "intellectual activity" scale may depend on the particular task, or what the purpose is for the task. 1 5.3%
the above questions' answers may change with what the child's task is. sometimes you may want the major concept to be interpretaion and with that there will be more points given for it. it is hard to rate is what i am saying. 1 5.3%
i wasn't really sure how to rate some of the words. i decided to go with my first thoughts rather than sit and ponder them. 1 5.3%

i don't know if i really understand all the things that i answered but to me if a child can explain , use, describe, construct, distinguish between something that they have learned then they have learned it. the only thing i can see where memorization is really important and the child will not forget the learned materail (hopefully) are the math tables. memorizing for a test doesn't insure actual learning 1 5.3%
