This document provides a rubric for evaluating endangered species presentations. It evaluates presentations on content, conventions, organization, and presentation. A score of 4 is the highest and indicates clear and accurate content from multiple sources, no errors, clear organization supporting the topic, and effective visual aids. A score of 3 meets most criteria with only minor errors. A score of 2 is incomplete or inconsistent. A score of 1 lacks focus, organization, and supporting information.
