Description
The attached document contains four rubrics made to go along with Neil Shubin's book Your Inner Fish. The initial intent of this was to serve as a summer reading project in preparation for the school year ahead in AP Biology. Students are presented with a single page document that displays a panel to preview all four projects and, from there, determine what they're most interested in doing. I kept the textbook reading attached as well, but please disregard if you don't find it applicable.
4 Project Options and Rubrics Included:
- Journal Entries
- Illustrating Evolution
- Children's Book
- Field Journal
Click "Preview" to view the panel, describing each project.
Each rubric highlights a different project for students to complete as they read the text, reflecting on the major ideas presented within each chapter while also encouraging students to take academic risks that require them to think critically. Each project's approach asks the students to take the perspective of another audience in some capacity to review and dwell upon the content reflectively.
