Research Topic - Rubrics

As an aid in helping you with your presentation the following rubrics have been posted.

In evaluation I look for a number of things:

1. - You have clearly stated your objective or thesis for the investigation, either in the presentation or in separate docuentation.
2. - You have limited the scope of your investigation to a manageable topic.
3. - You have gathered a significant amount of content to adequately cover the topic.
4. - You have used at least four sources, which are properly documented.
5. - You have chosen a suitable presentation style that fits your topic. e.g.. a slide format works well if you have photos or pictures, while a diorama might explain an event's development, or a written paper would work well with a large amount of print material.
6. - Your presentation clearly displays what you've learned.
