CASTLE project - RUBRIC/SCORE GUIDE

CASTLE SCORE RUBRIC                   

Score the following elements of your castle based on a scale of 0-5:

0 = not there/non-existent;

1 = very sloppy, but there, although lacking detail or clarity

2 = recognizable, but could use a great deal of revision  and detail;

3 = recognizable, some detail, not quite an A, but definitely better than a C;

4 =  neat, detailed, recognizable, clear part;

5 = outstanding, above and beyond, creative and original, highly detailed.  Has a

      “wow” factor.
