Daily Writing St. Pattys Day

You are working on a scoring guide for your NOFO evaluation rubric so that others will know exactly how you determined the score that you give each of the incoming proposals that your SPB will receive on next week. Reflect on the following questions:

* How effectively have I explained in my scoring guide the criteria that we will use to evaluate these proposals fairly and ethically? What information do I still need to add so that another reader would be able to draw the same evaluation and assign the same number of points as I would in my evaluation rubric?

I've explained my scoring guide very effectively to be fair and ethical. I still need to add more details to the part about the budget plan worksheet.

Now, read the Writer's Workshop on p. 446. Look back at your scoring guide and mark any words that you think have evaluative and/or judgmental connotations. Have you used these terms appropriately? What words do you need to look up? What words do you need to explain further? What words do you need to change to be more specific and/or appropriate to the writing situation?

I do not think that any words have judgmental connotations. I've used the terms appropriately to have an unbiased tone.

finally, answer these two questions:

* If outsider readers read my scoring guide, would they be able to score the proposals in concert the the expectations of my SPB?
* If the proposers read my scoring guide, would they consider it fair and appropriate to make evaluations and judgment of their proposals in the context of all the proposals my SPB receives?

I believe an outside reader would be able to use my scoring guide. They would also consider it fair and appropriate because it has a very neutral tone.
