Use this rubric to help you understand what’s expected.

10 Points	8 Points	6 Points	4 Points	2 Points
Concept Map fully and clearly demonstrates understanding of RELATIONSHIPS between concepts from the unit. Uses text, images, arrows or other graphic tools to show the relationships.	Concept map is not clear about relationships between concepts. May be missing one important aspect of the concept, or does not use sufficient text, images, arrows, or graphic tools accurately.	Concept map is missing multiple aspects of the concept. And/or there is very little use of graphic tools to show relationships.	Concept map shows some parts of the concept correctly, but also shows a misunderstanding of relationships between some concepts. E.g. arrows may be there, but to the wrong direction.	Concept map does not show any correct relationships between concepts or shows shows a misunderstanding of relationships between concepts.

Here is an example of a concept map a student did for another unit last year. She used index cards and "doors" you could open to see information under them. Pretty darn creative IMO.
