When a student completes a story, a Congratulations page appears with reward badges for various aspects of the student’s work on the story. Badges can appear as a gold medallion (met the basic requirement), or as a medallion with ribbons (went above and beyond).
This page can motivate students who understand that excellent performance is rewarded by ribbons. Tell students what they have to do to earn the badges and blue ribbons. Many students strive to excel so they can receive all blue ribbons.
