The rubric is developed throughout the progression of the project as new concepts are introduced. At this point students review two areas: content and presentation. The content will be assessed for accuracy and depth of information, and their persuasive argument in favor of their proposal . The presentation will be assessed for the clarity and appearance of presentation.

• Review and revise the rubric

• In small groups students will present their persuasive slideshow to the class in the form of a proposal.

• Students will answer questions and defend the proposal substantiated by evidence in the report.

• Students use the rubric to provide feedback to each other. Student also use the rubric to self-assess.
