Evaluation 

Grades will be determined by a combination of factors.  Read the rubric below carefully before beginning your project.  Note that a major portion of your grade depends on how much your art pieces reflect the history and culture of the region you select and on your oral presentation.  You will receive a group grade.  However, individual grades may be influenced by the amount of participation and by your portion of the oral presentation.
