O POINTS
Organization of book is logical.
Information on all biomes is
complete
Organization of book is logical. At
least 1 – 4 points of information is
missing.
Either book does not have a logical
organization or >4 points of
information are missing.
>4 illustrations are missing or do not
correctly represent details of the
biome. OR, no color has been used
in any chapter of book (color only
used on title page or about the author
page does not count)
Either descriptions of biotic and
abiotic factors is incomplete in >2
biomes OR, there is only 1 world
map showing distribution of all
biomes
Illustrations of pyramids, food chains
are neatly done and correctly
represent each particular biome.
Colors are used to enhance overall
information.
Illustrations in the book are a work
of art as well as correctly
representing each particular biome.
Color is used to enhance overall
information
Illustrations of pyramids, food chains

information.
Either 1 – 4 illustrations are missing
or they do not represent details of
biome. OR, color has been added
but does not enhance illustrations.
Descriptions of biotic and abiotic
factors completely describes each
biome. World maps clearly indicate
in what part(s) of Earth each biome
is found. There is a world map
included in each biome chapter.

each biome) is a correct, complete,
and probable description.

description (in each biome).
Examples and descriptions of

biome that could be responsible for
changes in the population is
reasonable, logical, and your
explanation is correct.

the information.

each biome) is a correct, complete,
