The PowerPoint is
prepared in advance, but
students misuse a word in
at least one of the
sentence applications
and/or at least one
grammar/spelling error is
noted. However, the
presentation contains all
the necessary
requirements. Additional
time could be spent on
developing an original
layout/design to create a
more sophisticated
presentation.
The PowerPoint is prepared
in advance, but little time
has been given to the
aesthetics and organization
of the presentation. More
time should have been
spent collaborating with
peers. However, the
presentation contains all
the necessary
requirements.
The PowerPoint lacks
organization. The
presentation provides
only limited Information
to at least 10 words and
is missing one of the key
required components.
Minor spelling or
grammar errors. The
group’s slide show is very
basic with limited design
elements.
The PowerPoint
presentation is not clearly
organized and is missing
essential information or
contains content errors.
More than one of the key
required components is
missing. Time should have
been spent proof reading
the slides and they contain
grammar and/or spelling
errors. The slide show lacks
any design elements and
appears hurriedly put
together.
