Plant and Animal Cell Model
	Excellent Job! 100 pts	Great Job! 85 pts	Nice Effort 65 pts	Try Harder 55 pts
Cell Structure Must include representations of ALL cell organelles provided on the list given.	Excellent Job! Highly accurate representation of cell. All cell parts from the list provided are very clearly and accurately represented.	Great Job! Mostly accurate representation of cell. Most cell parts are clearly marked and accurately represented.	Nice Effort Representation of cell not fully accurate. Not all cell parts are clearly marked and are not clearly represented.	Try Harder Inaccurate representation. Not all cell parts are represented and/or are not a clear representation of its part.
Labels All cell parts must be labeled with a number that corresponds with a number in the table.	Excellent Job! All parts are labeled accurately with correct spellings in labels of cell parts.	Great Job! All parts are labeled appropriately with no more than two spelling errors in labels of cell parts.	Nice Effort Missing labels or more than two spelling errors in labels of cell parts.	Try Harder Little or no labels. Numerous errors in cell part labeling.
Functions The correct function of the organelle explained with labeling key.	Excellent Job! All definitions are present and correct with no more than one spelling error in the definitions of cell parts. Functions in your own words and clearly stated.	Great Job! All definitions are present and correct with no more than three spelling errors in the definitions of cell parts. Functions in your own words and clearly stated.	Nice Effort Missing functions or more than three errors in definitions of cell parts. May be hard to read due to messiness. Functions from glossary.	Try Harder Inaccurate or no functions. Many spelling errors. Unable to read written definitions. Functions from glossary.
Neatness Make sure there are no smudges. All organelles are neatly done.	Excellent Job! Extremely neatly attached and labeled. Much effort and pride in presentation. Above and beyond expectations.	Great Job! Neatly attached and labeled. Few smudges on paper, and all pieces securely glued down.	Nice Effort Somewhat neat. Some effort in presentation and labels, but still some areas that are smudged and/or unattached. Labels are fairly neatly written.	Try Harder Very messy. Numerous smudges on project. Most pieces attached improperly and/or falling off. Labels are messy and difficult to read.
Creativity Project must be colorful, creatively represented, and produced with innovative materials.	Excellent Job! Extremely creative design. Clever use of materials, well organized, and clear connection of material to representation of organelle.	Great Job! Creative use of materials that show very good planning, organization, and hard work.	Nice Effort Shows some creativity in design. Use of materials show signs of planning and organization.	Try Harder Little creativity seen in design. Problems with planning and organization. Poor use of materials/spance.
