The document describes a rubric for evaluating student presentations with four levels of performance: beginning, developing, accomplished, and exemplary. It evaluates presentation skills, quality and quantity of research, collaboration, and use of presentation software. At the beginning level, the presentation is difficult to understand, answers few questions, uses one source without including all relevant information, and shows little participation. At the exemplary level, the presenter effectively conveys well-researched information from varied sources, welcomes collaboration, and skillfully uses presentation software.
