Blueprint - sketch<BR> - prewriting <BR> description<BR> - post building <BR> reflection	Level 4 Bridge blueprint or/and function(linear, exponential, or quadratic ) match the design of the finished product.<BR> <BR> If any changes were made during building, they were thoroughly explained upon reflection.	Level 3 Bridge blueprint or/and function(linear, exponential or quadratic )mostly match the design of the finished product.<BR> <BR> If any changes were made during building, they were sufficiently explained upon reflection.	Level 2 Bridge design somewhat matches the design of the blueprint or/and function(linear, exponential, or quadratic ). <BR> <BR> If any changes were made during building, they were explained a little upon reflection.	Level 1 Bridge design does not match the design of the blueprint or/and function(linear, exponential or quadratic )and changes were not explained.
