Building Process	Beginning Students did not discuss construction issues during building phase and made no adjustments.	Developing Students discussed construction issues during building phase and made no adjustments to meet objectives of the project.	Achieving Students discussed construction issues during building phase and made adjustments that did not meet the objectives of the project.	Excelling Students discussed construction issues during building phase and made adjustments that met the objectives of the project.
Finish	Beginning Project built as instructed with frosting covering the outside of the "bricks" (Starburts).
