Ecosystem Project

W.2.7: Participate in shared research or writing projects. Students will partner up to create an ecosystem by choosing one of the environment choices listed; Desert, Forest, Tundra, Oceanic, and Grassland. They will do research on the animals that live there, and the plants that grow, and create a 3D project showing their research through the form of a pretend ecosystem. Students can use stickers, figurines, printable cutouts, and drawings to create their 3D habitat.

Habitat	Poor The project has no characteristic of the habitat being portrayed. There is little to no accuracy of what is in the habitat in real life.	Fair The project has some characteristic of the habitat being portrayed. It is somewhat accurate to what you would find in the habitat in real life.	Good The habitat is identfiable upon glance and is mostly accurate to what you would find in the habitat in real life.	Excellent The habitat is easily seen throughout the project. Its very accuarate to what you would find in that habitat in real life.
Project Presentation	Poor The project is not 3D, shows minimal effort in overall presentation, and does not demonstrate any research over the habitat.	Fair The project has some 3D parts to it, shows some effort in the overall presentation of the project, and demonstrates minimal research over the selected habitat.	Good The project is mostly 3D, shows effort in the presentation of the overall project, and demonstrates some research involved over the selected habitat.	Excellent The project is 3D, shows great effort in the presentation of the overall project, and demonstrates research over the selected habitat.
Participation (graded per peer)	Poor There was little to no balance throughout the shared work for partners. Participation was little to none from student.	Fair Both partners worked together to create an ecosystem. There is a minimal balance of shared work. Participation was slim from student.	Good Both partners worked together to create an ecosystem. There is a somewhat equal balance of shared work. Participation was good from student.	Excellent Both partners have worked together to create an ecosystem. There is a shared balance of the work. Participation was great from student.
