Revolution Project Rubric
Demographic Information (20 points) 20 – incredibly clear who the target audience is (e.g.- parents of small children- teens and parental censorship of pop culture) 15 – some reference to target audience, but not completely clear that group knows who they will be dealing with – not obvious who would be taking part in revolution 10 – group wants a revolution, but it is clear that they have not considered the people that will be involved

Mission Statement (20 points) 20 – mission statement is a formal statement of purpose and commitment by group members. The mission statement should be explicitly present in at least one of the campaign media. 15 – mission statement is either not strong like described above, or the mission statement is not found in campaign media. 10 – mission statement exists, but is not complete, does not express purpose and is not found in other aspects of the campaign

Slogan and Bumper Sticker (20 points) 20 – the slogan is catchy and appropriate to the cause 15 - the slogan is either not catchy or is not appropriate to the cause (but still makes sense) 10 – the slogan is not catchy, is not appropriate to the cause and doesn’t make sense

Script or Storyboard (20 points) 20 – script should directly relay the revolution’s mission and the purpose of the group. It should be appropriate for the target audience and relevant to real life. Facts should be true and there is evidence of research done in preparation. There should be characters and set directions/plans. 15 – script is missing one to two of the above mentioned components, however it is still appropriate and makes sense 10 – the script exists but could not be used to create any sort of play or skit. Appropriateness is questionable.

2 Journals (20 points) Acceptable journals are ½ to 1 page in length and indicate thoughts or reflections on the project process. 20 – 2 journals 15 – 1 journal

Presentation (20 points) 20 – the group has implemented or has a concrete plan of how they will implement their revolution in the community 15 – the group either did not successfully communicate their mission to the target audience or their plan to do is vague and unrealistic. 10 – the group has some idea of what they could do but has neither done it nor do they have a plan of how to do it in the future
