Teamwork
Little planning was done; work was not shared fairly; there was much disagreement; personal feelings kept the team from accomplishing its goals.

Team never really had a plan, and one or more team members did most of the work.  There was little disagreement since not everyone was involved.

Work was shared equally, but the team either did not make or follow a plan or they changed the plan several times; there was some sharing of ideas.

Work was shared equally, the team made and followed a plan; differ- ent opinions were discus- sed and com- promises reached.  All members felt successful, and team accomplished its goal. 



Debates
Team did not take the debates seriously, but instead made jokes or distracted others; did not add appropri- ate logical information.

Was able to defend the team's own position but could not address problems with opposing team's position. 

Team gave  true statements and responses in both debates; did not use many facts from databases.

Team gave accurate, thoughtful, creative, and well-informed statements  and responses based on databases in both debates.
