Assignment: The Life of Peace River An educational book company called “EduBooks” has approached you for a rare and wonderful opportunity. This book company is looking to create a series of educational children’s books about rivers around the world. Because you live near the Peace River, and just learned all about rivers in grade 8 science class, this book company is coming to you. They are looking for you to create an educational book called “The Life of Peace River” and they also have a little bit of criteria for the things that they want you to describe in the book: Criteria: - They want to know the characteristics of the Peace River from its watershed all the way until it meets the ocean. They want you to go into depth (they told Miss Surette the more scientific information the better) Things to Remember: - This is a children’s book: so a lot of pictures, and a little text The book should be written from the point of view of the river This is an assignment; so there will be a lot of marks riding on the information that you put into your book Be sure to use the information that you have already learned about rivers, and apply it to the Peace River How Miss Surette will be marking you: Level 4 Excellent 3 Proficient Provides an in-depth description of erosion and deposition in the Peace River Provides a sufficient description of erosion and deposition in the Peace River Provides a partial description of erosion and deposition in the Peace River Describes stream characteristics Provides an in-depth description of the stream characteristics of the Peace River Provides a sufficient description of the stream characteristics of the Peace River Provides a partial description of the stream characteristics of the Peace River Describes the processes leading to ocean basins and continental drainage Provides an in-depth description of the continental drainage system of the Peace River Provides a sufficient description of the continental drainage system of the Peace River Provides a partial description of the continental drainage system of the Peace River Criteria Describes the processes of erosion and deposition 2 Adequate 1 Limited Provides an incomplete description of erosion and deposition in the Peace River Provides an incomplete description of the stream characteristics of the Peace River Provides an incomplete description of the continental drainage system of the Peace River Be sure to include this page and fill this out: Criteria Describes the processes of erosion and deposition Describes stream characteristics Describes the processes leading to ocean basins and continental drainage What I think my mark should be Proof Peer Coaching Tool: The Life of Peace River Student: _____________________________________________________________________________ Coach: _______________________________________________________________________________ How well did I describe the characteristics of the Peace River?
