Seminar: Interview Project Rubric

This is the last of step of this project!  I am impressed with most of you who have gone the distance and made consistent effort over the many weeks that this has taken.  

• I have tried copying the rubrics into documents and it is causing endless formatting problems. INSTEAD follow these instructions:
• OPEN MY RUBRIC GOOGLE DOC, 
• CLICK ON FILE AND MAKE A COPY;
• save as "[your name] Interview with Rubric". Now you will have a copy you can edit.  
• Copy all of your text from your Interview (including introduction, interview, and conclusion) into the top of the Document.
• Share the new document with me and make sure I "can EDIT."
• Be sure to enter in the links and information about your Creative Documentary project so I can grade you on all parts of it. (SEE THE PART ABOVE THE "CREATIVE DOCUMENTARY" RUBRIC)
• Enter your SELF SCORE for each section and add up your totals.  Please be as honest and thoughtful as possible in your self assessment.
