Research
	Exceeds 4 pts	Meets 3 pts	Partially Meets 2 pts	Does Not Meet 1 pts
Research Targets 1. Pros 2. Cons 3. Process - from source to electricity 4. Long Term Outlook	Exceeds Student researched topic and hit all four Research Targets as well as additional key points. Information is relevant, detailed, and summarized in their own words. English class guidelines were followed and project was ready on time.	Meets Student researched topic and hits all four Research Targets. Most information is relevant, detailed, and summarized in their own words. Claims are supported with cited evidence. English class guidelines are followed and has 3 or fewer errors (spelling + grammar) that do not interfere with communication. Project was ready on time.	Partially Meets Student researched topic, but did not clearly hit all of the Research Targets, and/or some information was plagiarized. Information is unorganized, and/or missing. Claims are not supported with evidence. Many of the English class writing guidelines were ignored, and errors >3 (spelling + grammar) do interfere with communication. Project was completed after the presentation.	Does Not Meet Student did not hit all of the Research Targets, and/or some information was plagiarized. Information is unorganized, and/or missing. Many of the English class writing guidelines were ignored, and errors >3 (spelling + grammar) do interfere with communication. Project was not completed.
Poster
	Exceeds 4 pts	Meets 3 pts	Partially Meets 2 pts	Does Not Meet 1 pts
Poster Content Should highlight the major points of ALL SIX questions. DO NOT PLAGIARIZE! Keep it simple by including only a few important words or phrases for each question.	Exceeds The poster supports all six of the major research questions and is presented on time and in an organized fashion. 20-19 points	Meets The poster supports only 5 of the 6 major research questions or is presented on time and in a somewhat organized fashion. 18-17 pts	Partially Meets The poster supports only 4 or 5 of the major research questions and/or is presented in rather unorganized fashion and/or was turned in late. 16-15pts	Does Not Meet The poster supports only half of the major research questions and/or is presented in an unorganized way and/or was turned in late. 14-13 points
Graphics Include at least one graph that shows how much of this energy source is used since the 1960's	Exceeds One or more graphs showing pertinent information is included. Each graph is neat and complete.	Meets At least one graph showing pertinent information is included. Each graph is complete.	Partially Meets At least one graph showing pertinent information is included. One or more of the graphs is incomplete or set up incorrectly.	Does Not Meet A graph is either not included or shows non-pertinent information.
Aesthetics/Organization The poster is artistically	Exceeds The poster has an element of creativity and is organized in way that enhances the flow of the presentation	Meets The poster has an element of creativity, and is organized by separating the topics.	Partially Meets The poster shows some creativity. The organization interferes with the communication.	Does Not Meet The poster is a collection of information with little evidence of organization.
3D Model/Experiment If student decides to do more than one model and/or experiment, additional work will be given bonus points.	Exceeds The 3D model or experiment is creative and is an excellent representation of the energy source researched and was turned in on time.10pts	Meets The 3D model or experiment is somewhat creative, is a good representation of the energy source researched and was turned in on time. 9pts	Partially Meets The 3D model or experiment is not very creative and/or is not a good representation of the energy source researched and/or was turned in late. 8 points	Does Not Meet The 3D model or experiment is not creative and/or does not represent the energy source researched and/or was turned in late. 7pts
Presentation - 15 Points Possible
	Exceeds 15 pts	Good 13 pts	Fair 11 pts	Poor 9 pts
Debate Presentation Give a persuasive argument for or against the use of this energy source. If taking a stance as undecided, student must give details why both sides have viable reasons.	Exceeds The argument shows a clear understanding of the material presented. Student speaks clearly and effectively, showing obvious signs of preparation. 15-14pts	Good The argument shows an understanding of the material presented.
