Who are you talking about?
• State the initials and grade level of the authors.
Alper M. and Cristian C. 8th grade honors.
What do you think of the content?
• How was the quality of the math?
Good, it made sense and had easy content and problems.
• Was it easy to understand?
It was a tiny bit difficult to read the content,
And the words against the background.
Did it grab your attention?
Yes, their power point was interesting and fun sort of like a game. But you are learning, about something.
• What did you think of the graphics?
I liked the graphics very much; they were fun and caught my attention.
• Did it make you want to do math (or at least try it out)?
Yes it did, if I was new to learning about box and whiskers then I would at least try this power point out.
What suggestions do you have?
• What suggestions would you give to the authors?
I would change the color of the words so that others don’t have any trouble reading it.
• What was the best part of the site?
I like the part where it has all the buttons to go to the other parts of the website.
• What part of the site needed improvement?
I would make the names on the title page, because it is a little hard or difficult to see their names, at least for me it is.
What about the rubric?
• Did they follow the rubric?
Yes I think that they made all the requirements.
• What section did they do the best on?
I think that the first page or the directory page, because it is clear and easy to find what you are looking for.
• What section did they need to improve on?
I would make the names on the title page, because it is a little hard or difficult to see their names, at least for me it is.
What grade would you give you site?
• A – B – C – D – F (and why)?
I would grade it an A+, I would give them an A because it looks like they put a lot of time and effort into it.

8th grade: Ashley N. and Sina R. had an excellent power point. They had amazing picture example and used words that everybody could understand. I was very pleased with their colors design and organization. They only thing I didn’t like was that they kind of dragged things out.

1. WO and JD 6th grade
2. a. There wasn’t a whole lot of math, but it was correct
b. It was easy to understand, but there wasn’t a lot of explanation
3. a. I thought that it was very creative, and the graphics were good and probably took a really long time.
b. I thought that the best part was the penguin thing saying, “hahaha” at the end.
c. I think that the writing could have been neater, even though it’s hard to do.
4. My only suggestion is to make the information more detailed and just have my info in general because it’s meant to help students, and it would help more if there were more examples.
5. I don’t think it followed the rubric well because there was no vocab, standards, practice, or anything.
6. I would give it a C because it was good but didn’t follow the rubric.

8th grade honors: Cl and AG had a better than average power point. They had good examples and good colors. They used good words in there very detailed explanations. I didn’t understand the concept very well because I am not at that level but I followed along well enough. The only bad thing was organization.

The authors of this presentation are alper m and cristian c. The quality of this content is very good. The authors also made this concept seem very easy and understandable. The graphics of this site were very good, they included many things that made it fun and interesting. This site made me want to learn about this concept. The only suggestion I would give the authors is to change some font colors so the writing is easier to read. I would give this presentation an a because of how good they did.

8th grade honors: AJ and CD had a very easy to work and understandable website. Everything needed was there and simple to get to. Practice problems were the best part since they had a lot. Some of the vocabulary words didn’t have clear definitions so examples for those would help. I say a very solid A.

A.M. and C.C. did a good job. It is hard to find the page changer thing though. It is easy to read but I don’t understand it because I have not learned it yet. The animation grabbed my attention big time. They followed the rubric. I give them an A-.

EG and CL (8th Grade Honors)

The math looked and was easy to understand.

Did it grab your attention?
• What did you think of the graphics?
• Did it make you want to do math (or at least try it out)?

We thought your graphics were very nice. We think it would be nice to add more though.
Yes, because it was explained in a way that we could understand.

What suggestions do you have?
• What suggestions would you give to the authors?
• What was the best part of the site?
• What part of the site needed improvement?

We suggest that you should add some more pictures and more colors.
The best part was the slides that explained how to find the answer to radicals using adding, subtraction, multiplying, and dividing, because it provided a lot of information.
We think the title page needed more improvement. It would be nice if you had a more colorful title page.

What about the rubric?
• Did they follow the rubric?
• What section did they do the best on?
• What section did they need to improve on?

Yes, you followed the rubric.
They did the best on the Lesson section. It had a lot of helpful information.
We think you guys need to improve the lesson of the power point a little more. It would be nice if it had more pictures and colors.

What grade would you give you site?
• A – B – C – D – F (and why)?

A, because it meets all the requirements, the layout looks really nice, and you provided a lot of information on your topic.

8th grade honors: These 8th grade honors made a website by Alper M. and Cristian C. The content was good they made it easy to follow so you could understand what they were trying to teach. This website did grab my attention because the lesson was interesting and it made me want to do the problems. I suggest next time they make it easier to switch the pages it took me a few minutes to figure out what I had to do to switch the pages. They followed the rubric and did everything they were supposed to do and I give this project an A.

5.) The part of the site that needs improvement is the presentation.
6.) For the most part they did follow the rubric.
7.) They did best on providing a list of vocabulary.
8.) The authors need to improve on their presentation skill.

I would give this project an A.
