Borton, Sonya C. and Brian Hout. "Responding and Assessing." Multimodal Composition: Resources for Teachers. Ed. Cynthia L. Selfe. Cresskill, NJ: Hampton Press, 2007: 99-111. Print.
This chapter gave great advice and worksheets for rhetorically responding to and assessing student work. I particularly liked the emphasis on "composing self-consciously" (99) and using assessment as a tool to teach composition. I have my students keep a research journal in order to keep up on their progress, and I could definitely see having the benefit to a progress journal for mutlimodal assignments-especially for my online students. They don't have the benefit of me walking around and leaning over their shoulders to get feedback, so the journal would be one way to make that connection.
This page makes an argument for a traditional writing program rubric to be used in a multimodal composition assessment.
