Dance Party Challenge
	Excellent 4 pts	Good 3 pts	Fair 2 pts	Poor 1 pts
Dancers	Excellent I introduced many dancers and each dancer had multiple dance moves throughout the song. Dancers may have changed positions on the screen and/or alternated who took the lead.	Good I introduced multiple dancers and each dancer had dance moves throughout the song. Dancers were well positioned on the screen.	Fair I introduced a couple dancers and each dancer had a dance move throughout the song. Dancers remained in the same position for the whole song.	Poor I introduced a 1 dancer and the dancer had a dance move for most of the song. Dancers remained in the same position for the whole song, but may not have been ideally positioned on the screen.
Background Effects	Excellent I programmed a creative background that changed designs and colours in connection to dance moves and/or changes in the song tempo.	Good I programmed a colourful background that used effects which added to the enjoyment of the dance party. The background my have changed periodically.	Fair I programmed a good background that used effects which added to the enjoyment of the dance party. The background did not change throughout the song.	Poor I programmed a background that used some effects which added to the dance party. The background did not change throughout the song.
Timing	Excellent The choreography and background changes with the music and fits the music all the time.	Good All dancers and the background often move with the music.	Fair Dancers and background movement seem to have a limited connection with the music.	Poor Dancers and background movement seem to have no connection with the music.
Complexity of Code	Excellent I have expertly used a wide variety of 'coding blocks', including loops, functions, if/or blocks, and 'after' blocks. My coding is very efficient and easy to understand.	Good I have correctly used a variety of 'coding blocks', including loops, functions, if/or blocks, and 'after' blocks. My coding works well and is easy to understand.	Fair I have used a few of the 'coding blocks', including loops, functions, if/or blocks, and 'after' blocks. My coding works but may be difficult to understand and could be more efficient.	Poor I have used a minimal number of the 'coding blocks', including loops, functions, if/or blocks, and 'after' blocks. My coding may or may not work and is difficult to understand because it is not efficient.
Time/Effort/Preparartion	Excellent I fully prepared myself for the culminating task by completing all the mini-lessons to the best of my ability. A great deal of effort has been put in to the coding unit.	Good I prepared myself well for the culminating task by completing most of the mini-lessons to the best of my ability. A good amount of effort has been put in to the coding unit.	Fair I somewhat prepared myself for the culminating task by completing most of the mini-lessons, although I may not have consistently used my best effort throughout the unit.	Poor I did not prepare myself well for the culminating task as many of the mini-lessons from the unit are incomplete. I have not used my best effort throughout the unit.
