Summative Assessment:​ ​This is a sample of a summative assessment I would use at the end of the project.

This 
rubric is in regard to critical thinking. I will have a separate rubric for curricular outcomes. (As that seems straight 
forward I did not provide that copy). This rubric was inspired by Digital Harbor, as assessing critical thinking can be 
challenging I search for advice on how to construct something meaningful. The only way I could use this assessment 
is from all their previous formative assessment and their Seesaw online journals. Just by looking at their final project 
would not help me assess critical thinking as I won't be able to see what they did in regards to completion. Again this 
type of evaluation can be very subjective. That is why I have made the columns very broad in a sense.
