Graphs from unit circle
	Poor 1 pts	Fair 2 pts	Good 3 pts	Outstanding 4 pts
Unit circle	Poor The unit circle is not labelled	Fair The unit circle has labels, but some may be incorrect or missing	Good The unit circle is labelled mostly correctly	Outstanding The unit circle is labelled completely correctly
Attending to precision	Poor Student did not use their string around the unit circle to build their function graph	Fair Student attempted to use the string around the unit circle to build the function graph, but there are several inaccuracies	Good Student attempted to use the string around the unit circle to build the function graph, but there are some inaccuracies	Outstanding Student used the string around the unit circle to build the function graph neatly and accurately
Building the graph	Poor Student did not accurately measure the vertical sides of the right triangles on the unit circle, and did not translate them accurately to the function graph	Fair Student attempted to measure the vertical sides of the right triangles on the unit circle, but there were several inaccuracies when translating to the function graph	Good Student attempted to measure the vertical sides of the right triangles on the unit circle, but there were a few inaccuracies when translating to the function graph	Outstanding Student accurately measured vertical sides of right triangles on the unit circle and translated them correctly to the graph.
Conceptual understanding	Poor Student shows little to no evidence of understanding the relationship between the unit circle and the function graph	Fair Student shows emerging evidence of understanding between the relationship between the unit circle and the function graph	Good Student shows sufficient evidence of understanding between the relationship between the unit circle and the function graph	Outstanding Student shows evidence of complete understanding of the relationship between the unit circle and the function graph, and student is able to extend understanding of the pattern beyond the graph
