Nascent Success criteria- co-construction

The Students in the Fantasy Book Writing Project followed on their "Book club" discussion about the qualities of their favourites book with a concrete negotiation with their teacher to establish a list of "must haves" in their book.  This is the very start point of establishing an assessment rubric. It's strength lies in the understanding of what the students are now expecting to do, it is "their" criteria and will help them produce writing of quality.
