3D Project and Write Up Rubric

River Festival 3-D Project

• Help bring our rivers to life at the River Festival with a three-dimensional project.
• This project should demonstrate some aspect of life on the river you’ve researched, something specific you learned from a field study or in the classroom related to rivers.
• In addition to the 3-D project, a brief write-up will need to go along with it explaining what you did, why, and what it means/how it works.

Below are some suggestions:

1. 3-D map
2. Model of a building or a boat as it relates to history of a river
3. Diorama of an event with explanation of the significance
4. Focus on a specific topic regarding your river, such as river features, erosion/deposition, water quality, specific animal/macroinvertabrates, or anything else you learned!
5. Create a board game that is educational for those playing it.
6. Write a song. This may be displayed, performed, or recorded.
7. Make a video that demonstrates your learning.
8. Create a computer program that shows a field study or something on your river
9. Create a dance, a play, or infomercial. This would be performed the night of the festival or recorded and played via video.
10. Create a food dish from the region of your river.
