Macromolecule Preparation Evaluation of the members of your group as you become experts on a particular macromolecule
	Basic 3 pts	Proficient 7 pts	Advanced 10 pts	Student Learning Expectations (N/A)
Effective Use of Technology Contributions to the design and carryout of the presentation that will be used during the teaching session	Basic Contributes little to the process; not interested or unwilling to help the group	Proficient Contributes ideas to the design but is not really interested or concerned about the presentation	Advanced Is actively involved in all aspects of the development and carryout of the presentation	Student Learning Expectations Describe and Model the structure and function of the major organic molecules found in living systems: carbohydrates, proteins, lipids & nucleic acids
Effective Use of Class Time How well each person uses class time to gather and compile information for the teaching session	Basic Work effort is scattered; arrives late to class; does little if any work to support the group; easily distracted and focuses on areas of interest other than the macromolecule	Proficient Work effort is fairly well organized; not always ready to work when class starts but willing to contribute as needed; distracted on occasion but will return to the topic when asked	Advanced Ready to get to work when the class starts; contributes to the group effort and is involved in all aspects of the research; not easily distracted, stays on topic	Student Learning Expectations
Collaboration/Cooperation How well each person works with others in the group to complete the preparation for the teaching session	Basic Not involved in the group; distant and uninvolved in the class time provided to work; not interested in helping the group complete the task	Proficient Works well with others; helps with the assignment but tends to need directions rather than taking the lead in some areas; or tend to dominate the group and determine all aspects of the process	Advanced Involved in all aspects of the process; willing to help others and willing to listen to the suggestions of others	Student Learning Expectations Describe the relationship between an enzyme and its substrate molecule(s)
Model Building Contributions to the design and building process for the model that will be used during the teaching session	Basic Contributes little to the process; not interested or unwilling to help the group	Proficient Contributes ideas to the design but is not really interested or concerned about the model	Advanced Is actively involved in all aspects of the development and building of the model	Student Learning Expectations
Assessment Development Development of a 10 to 15 point assessment to be given after the lesson is taught to the other students	Basic Is not interested in or involved in the development, design, or production of the assessment tool	Proficient Involved in some aspects of the process but involvement has been sporadic	Advanced Fully engaged in the development, design and production of the assessment tool	Student Learning Expectations Explain the role of energy in chemical reactions of living systems: activation energy, exergonic reactions, endergonic reactions
Grading of the Assessment Involvement in the grading of the assessment tool	Basic Not interested in or involved in the grading and analysis of the assessment	Proficient Somewhat interested in the grading process; may help collect the assessment or total the points but is not really invested in the process	Advanced Interested and engaged in the grading and analysis of the results of the assessment	Student Learning Expectations
