regarding this topic.
(1) Very little depiction of scientific content or representation of topic.
Content may be more fictional, or, a weak interpretation of what has already
been learned and shows little if any further research.
Creativity
(4) Very reflective of research data, yet includes methodical and logical
explanations for a historical fiction piece. Actions and feelings both make
sense, yet are portrayed creatively with a variety of different aspects and
feelings and occurrences.

historical fiction piece with a mixture of personal feelings. Actions are
described with some detail.

reaction, feeling or incident.
(1) Story line entries are bland and non representative of the feelings,
observations, or actions of any parties within the setting.
Cooperation
(4) Worked extremely well with group; made self available to listen, give
feedback, and provide logical input that was both beneficial and important.
Did not try to “run” the group but was a vital player in the process of the
project.
(3) Worked well with the group; listened and gave input regarding his/her
own
task that was both beneficial and important. Offered some feedback for
others and was an important player in the process.
(2) Worked mostly with group, but not as an active participant. He/she may
have listened to what others said, but did not offer input or suggestions to
others; or; did not work well by withdrawing or arguing.
(1) Did not participate with group, nor try. Little effort if any was put
forth to meet, share or discuss, and work created was not shared with the
group. Lack of participation hindered the group’s progress.
Communication
(4) Presentation of information to the class was clearly organized, and
logical, Speech was clearly and effectively communicated through
pronunciation and projection.
(3) Presentation of the information was organized and sequenctial. Speech
was clear and voice was projected for everyone to hear.
(2) Presentation was unclear; topic and point was not clearly identifiable;
speech was not able to have been heard due to either too quiet of a voice or
inappropriate behavior.
(1) Knowledge of what to present was vague and unclear due to a lack of
details and research. Little attempt, if any, was made to share their
portion of the project with the class.
