Animoto Rubric on the Water Cycle Using images such as those available from the following site, [] , you must develop a video using [|http://Animoto.com]  to describe the water cycle process. (You may develop several if the 30-second free video does not allow you to adequately demonstrate your presentation.) It can also serve as an introduction or conclusion to the groups’ desired project. **__Formative/Ongoing Assessment: __** Make sure each student has an opportunity to provide their input (record time spent each class period.) 1. Much like Figure 8.1 – Effort Rubric in Using Technology with classroom Instruction that Works by Pitler that helps students equate effort applied to stronger assessment results (Pitler, H., 2007, p. 156). 2. Organize, analyze, evaluate, and predict trends from data. 3. Identify key features and characteristics of atmospheric, geological, hydrological, and biological systems as they relate to assignment. 4. Collect and evaluate global environmental data using technology such as maps, visualizations, satellite data, Global Positioning System (GPS), Geographic Information System (GIS), weather balloons, etc. 5. Identify sources and determine the amounts of water in a watershed, including rainfall, groundwater, and surface water. **__Summative/End Of Lesson Assessment: __** Have classmates assist in the evaluation process by completing an assessment on their peers, developed in SurveyMonkey for an online immediate response tool. This will promote a greater sense of ownership in the production of student projects as well as more involvement in the development process.
