	Does Not Meet	Minimally Meets	Meets	Exceeds
Knowledge of conditions on the front	No evidence of describing conditions of the war front	Conditions are not well described or seem to be forced into the poem	Can identify conditions on the war front seamlessly into the poem	Incorporates a knowledge of conditions on the front which enhances the mood of the poem
Knowledge of soldier’s attitudes during WWI	No emotion in the poem, just a description	Shows generally appropriate emotions of a soldier, not specific to WWI	Can identify the concerns of soldiers on the fronts	Captures the feelings and moods that real soldiers have written about
Knowledge of Canada’s role in WWI	Cannot identify how Canada participated in the war	Mentions the major battles that Canada participated in but no further information	Incorporates an understanding of Canada’s major accomplishments in battle	Shows the importance that Canada played with reference to specific battles or people
Presentation	Random images, editing is too quick or too slow, speech is difficult to follow	Images are present but do not match the words, poorly chosen images	Well chosen images that visually represents the words, clean editing	Carefully chosen images that match the mood of the poem; timing and emotion heighten the message of the poem, keeps audience engaged in the image and poem
