Communication & Collaboration
Rating: Approaching – Explanation: Students select another student to work with and take pictures together. Students each take their own pictures and ask their partner for help with questions they may have about using the camera. Students select 5 of their best photos to edit. They will select these photos by asking for input from their partner and their peers.
Students edit the photos and then select the 1 best photo for grading. They will again ask for input from their peers about what they feel the best photo is grading it against the provided rubric. The entire class will group together to review several student projects where they are encouraged to give both positive and constructive feedback. Students ask questions of the artist, encouraging collaboration and better work on future projects.

When self-grading their best image, students must provide written justification for the scores they give to each section of the rubric.
