Attention to
There is a clear
Detail/Research connection between
the research the
student performed
and the diorama
they created. Details
are not random, but
are used to
accentuate the
information and
knowledge they
have gained in their
study.

There is a connection
between the research the
student performed and
the diorama they created
and it is generally clear.
Details are included and
are used to accentuate
the information and
knowledge they have
gained in their study, but
there are a few (1-5)
details that may be
random and may not
support the research as
clearly as the others.

The connection
between the
research the
student performed
and the diorama is
not very clear.
Details included
seem random and
do not support the
depth and breadth
of the student\'s
research.

There is no
evidence that the
student has
researched their
diorama.

Construction Care Taken

Great care taken in

construction process
so that the structure
is neat, attractive

and accurate for the most
part, but 1-2 details
could have been refined
for a more attractive
product.
