Sample criteria are set for each of the teamwork and process targets. However, in the product section of the evaluation, only the advertisements category has a set of criteria for a good project. The other targets have a mark, but the criteria must be determined by the teacher and students working together. If more than one group in the class is working on a newspaper project, all groups must participate in the negotiation together and agree on the criteria. For more about the nature of negotiated assessment, look at the student photojournalism project, teacher photojournalism project. To see how to set up a negotiated assessment view the process used for negotiating assessment in My Way (.doc) or (.rtf).
