Construction Materials
Appropriate
materials were
selected and
creatively
modified in ways
that made them
even better.
Appropriate
materials were
selected and there
was an attempt at
creative
modification to
make them even
better.
Appropriate
materials were
selected.
Inappropriate
materials were
selected and
contributed to a
product that
performed poorly.
Overall
Appearance
Great care taken in
construction
process so that the
structure is neat,
attractive and
accurate.
Constuction was
careful and
accurate for the
most part, but 1-2
details could have
been refined for a
more attractive
product.
Construction is
accurate, but 3-4
details could have
been refined for a
more attractive
product.
Construction
appears careless or
haphazard. Many
details need
refinement for a
strong or attractive
product.
