Good
Information is presented as a connected
theme with accurate, current supporting
information that contributes to
understanding the projects main idea.
Details are logical and persuasive
information is effectively used. The
content includes a clear point of view with
a progression of ideas and supporting
information. Includes properly cited
sources.
(12 Points)
Movie was completed and contained all
required elements. Editing was not done
as well as it should have been. Some poor

etc.) are not identified and credited using
APA citations.
(12 Points)
1 member is not involved in the group
project. Team members mostly showed

fit the main idea or appears as a
disconnected series of scenes with no
unifying main idea. Includes few citations
and few facts.
( 8 Points)

editing. Many poor shots remain. Video

little to no audio reinforcement.
