Animal, Plant, and Specialized Cells Presentation Rubric

Groups of students will design and present their own slide presentation that includes diagrams, labels, and structure and function explanations about plant cells, animal cells, and their assigned specialized cells. The specialized cells are: ciliated cells, nerve cells, red blood cells, xylem vessels, palisade mesophyll cells, sperm and egg cells, and root hair cells.

Project/Presentation
	Exemplary 4 pts	Competent 3 pts	Needs Improvement 2 pts	Below 1 pts
Animal Cell Information	Exemplary Animal cell section has all required information, including identifying and explaining the function and structure of organelles: cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus, nuclear envelope, cytoplasm, vacuole, centrosomes, lysosomes mitochondria, and ribosomes.	Competent Has the majority of the cell information but is missing or has incorrect information for 2 organelles.	Needs Improvement Has the some of the cell information but is missing or has incorrect information for 3 organelles.	Below Has little cell information, is missing or has incorrect information on 4 or more organelles.
Plant Cell Information	Exemplary Plant cell section has all required information, including identifying and explaining the function and structure of organelles: cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus, nuclear envelope, cytoplasm, chloroplast, vacuole, mitochondria, and ribosomes.	Competent Has the majority of the cell information but is missing or has incorrect information for 2 organelles.	Needs Improvement Has the some of the cell information but is missing or has incorrect information for 3 organelles.	Below Has little cell information, is missing or has incorrect information on 4 or more organelles.
Specialized Cell Information	Exemplary Specialized cell section has all required information, including identifying and explaining the functions, structures of the organelles. Also include cell location(s), importance, real picture, labeled diagram, and what would happen the the organism if it were absent.	Competent Has the majority of the cell information but is missing or has incorrect information for 2 organelles.	Needs Improvement Has the some of the cell information but is missing or has incorrect information for 3 organelles.	Below Has little cell information, is missing or has incorrect information on 4 or more organelles.
Work quality/effort	Exemplary The work done exceeds all expectations and shows that the learner is proud of his/her work. The effort that was put into this task is the best it can be by the learner.	Competent The work was done with good effort that shows what the learner is capable of. It is evident that time was put into this poster and presentation.	Needs Improvement Work is done with fair effort, but the quality is still not what the learner is capable of. It is evident that the work was rushed.	Below Work is done with little effort, quality is not what the learner is capable of. It is evident that the work was rushed and little time was spent on the final product. Work is incomplete.
Style/Mechanics	Exemplary The slides include correct spelling, grammar, looks organized, is clear, logical, and has no mistakes. Information is presented and written in own words, not copied. Demonstrates and shows awareness of audience and purpose.	Competent There are a few (3) technical errors. No plagiarizing. Shows attention to detail, audience, and purpose.	Needs Improvement There are a more than 3 technical errors. No plagiarizing. Shows some attention to detail, audience, and purpose, but is not straight forward and is confusing.	Below More than 5 technical errors. Uses the same language as other resources. No attention to detail, does not take into account audience and purpose, and doesn't make sense.
Presentation	Exemplary The student spoke clearly and presented their information with complete understanding of animal, plant, and their specialized cells. It is evident that the student had prepared what they will say.	Competent The student spoke clearly and presented a good amount of the information about their animal, plant, and specialized cells as expected.	Needs Improvement There are several confusing moments during the presentation and the information presented was not completely relayed during the presentation. The student had not practiced preparing their presentation.	Below The student was unprepared. No preparation was done for the presentation and the information that was presented lacked many elements of what was expected.
