            <description><![CDATA[As I dig deeper into the &quot;why&quot; behind the program, I notice that I am having a difficult time assessing the students&#39; work.&nbsp; A traditional letter grade seems inappropriate to me for most of the graphic organizers.&nbsp; I am going to try and align the work with state goals and have the kids revisit the graphic organizers until they can meet standards.&nbsp; Is this realistic?&nbsp; Is there a better way?&nbsp; Am I going to&nbsp;be making a million copies?&nbsp; I am just really struggling with the idea of giving something like &quot;golden lines&quot; a point value.&nbsp; What constitutes an A? a D?&nbsp; Help!]]></description>
