 Calculating an Overall Grade for
Project Presentation, Product, and Journal

1. Average the scores that individual teachers gave for each scoring
guide;
2. Multiply the average scores by these factors:

A. Presentation Score x 3

B. Product/Performance Score x 3

C. Journal Score x 1

3. Add together and divide by 7.

Equal weight (3/7) is given to Presentation and Product/Performance;

a much lower weight (1/7) is given for the Journal component.
