 * What this selection illustrates about my learning/why I chose this selection: **

I chose to represent my learning for this chapter by creating a fun cartoon. I used [|toondoo.com] to create this free cartoon. I chose to focus on the three guidelines for effective grading. This section of the reading produced the most learning for me. I feel it is important for students to turn in work on time and show effort in class, but I also understand that it is important to understand any underlying circumstances that may affect a students’ work habits. I also feel it is unfair to change a student’s grade due to an assignment being late. This practice does not show the learning and understanding of the students.
