Submission Required
Grading Required
Using a simple smiley-face rubric (clear weather? correct outfit? easy to understand?), students complete an oral and teacher-recorded usability report about their revised guide. They state whether their forecast matched observations, describe one pattern noticed during the week, and explain how their changes improve comfort and understanding.
