different aspects of the
process to the
audience and is very
informational. The
student wrote a
paragraph for their
Digital Portfolio every
week about the
process.

The documentary is
complete, but it
doesnt explain the
students initial
questions or is very
informational. The
student wrote a
paragraph every other
week or less.

The documentary is
obviously incomplete. It
is confusing and does
not help the audience
understand the project.
The Digital Portfolio
paragraphs rarely
happened, only about
once a month or less.
