STANDARDS: The criteria (also stated in a rubric) that will be used to assess the product

Criteria for Designing Performance Tasks

Integrate knowledge and skills across multiple content standards or within a content area
Measure capacities such as depth of understanding, research skills, complex analysis, and identification/providing of relevant evidence
Require student-initiated planning, management of information and ideas, and interaction with other materials
Require production of extended responses, such as oral presentations, exhibitions, and other scorable products
