This rubric evaluates students on a isodemographic map assignment across several criteria on a scale from below level 1 to level 4. It assesses knowledge and understanding of places on the map being correctly identified and scaled. It examines thinking and inquiry by looking for evidence of pre-planning and creative thinking. It evaluates communication skills with criteria like an appropriate title, legend and scale. Creativity, aesthetics, and application of knowledge to new contexts are also considered.
