Poster Project
	Exemplary 25 pts	Accomplished 20 pts	Developing 15 pts	Beginning 10 pts
Content Knowledge	Exemplary The poster has the required elements demonstrated in the appropriate section. A chosen cell, tissue, organ, and organ system building to the complete organism. The extra poster section is used to show a problem that faces the organism and its survival. Each section is illustrated and has a written explanation or a labeled diagram to explain its function within the organism.	Accomplished Poster includes all required elements in each section. A chosen cell, tissue, organ, organ system and building to the complete organism. The extra poster section is for a problem that faces the organism itself that will affect survival. Each section is illustrated and has a written explanation or a labeled diagram to explain its function within the organism.	Developing Poster is missing or lacking explanations/illustration for one to two required elements. Did not clearly show/explain their chosen cell, tissue, organ, organ system and building to the complete organism. Could be missing the extra poster section for a problem facing the organism and its survival.	Beginning The poster is missing 3 or more elements required. There are many gaps in information presented. Confusing.
Work quality/effort	Exemplary The work done exceeds expectations. It shows that the learner is proud of his/her work. The effort that was put into this task is the best it can be by the learner. Class work time was used effectively and work done at home was observable each day in class. Student had materials and resources each day and was prepared to work.	Accomplished The work was done with an effort that shows that the learner is capable of high quality work. Class time was mostly used effectively and there were observable changes in the progress of the poster each day.	Developing Work is done with fair effort, but the quality is still not what the learner is capable of. It is evident that the work was rushed. Class time was not used effectively and work at home was not consistently observable.	Beginning Work is done with little effort, quality is not near grade level work. It is evident that the work was rushed and little time was spent on the final product. Poster is incomplete, unorganized and/or confusing to the reader.

Most of the drawings/writing are the student's own but overall the project shows a lack of time commitment and effort to sharing their understanding.	Beginning Messy. Lacks an organizational structure to convey information. Illustrations and writing are not hand drawn or the student's own work. Creative use of materials is missing.
Requirements	Exemplary Used provided grid/paper and grid location for each required section. Had materials and project at school each day prepared to work. Shared understanding of the building of an organism from a single cell to an organism.	Accomplished The project/poster strays from the requirements in one area.
