1. Eduplace Graphic Organizers http://www.eduplace.com/graphicorganizer/

2. EdHelper. com Graphic Organizers http://edhelper.com/teachers/graphic_organizers.htm

3. Develop evidence of learning with student created rubrics.

Rubistar for rubrics in all curriculum areas http://rubistar.4teachers.org/index.php?screen=NewRubric&module=Rubistar

4. For a simple and effective assessment tool, as students begin research they can fill in KWL: what do they already know and what do they want to learn.  After completion of the activity they fill in what they learned. 

5. As the class learns about a new research project, they can construct a project rubric.  If students are doing group or class presentations they can hand out a simple evaluation 3-2-1 form to the audience: 3 things I learned, 2 things I will use, I question or idea.
