My students enjoyed Dvolver website

Here are two of my students 'dialogues:

They are 9 th graders .
 The assignment was :
Create a dialogue between two characters . They are two friends who are exchanging their opinion about the new school year , their new friends and the new school .

 Write questions in English  (at least four )

They loved doing this mini movie and were very proud of what they had done

But I have a problem : How to correct them ?
I do not have access to what they wrote and going through the 26 of them individually is too time consuming .
If you have ideas , I would be very grateful !

  1. Hi Christine! Dvolver is very easy to use and the good thing about it is that it is free, user friendly and registration is not needed. When I tried Dvolver with my students, I developed a rubric to assess their work. In this case you can develop your rubric in Rubistar http://rubistar.4teachers.org/ and considered: spelling, grammar, content (message). You can also take into account the fact that they followed the instructions and included the information you requested. So after designing the rubric, you just complete it with the student's name and circle the cells you want. You can include a final comment in the end. What do you think?
