Description of Idea
This is a fifth grade culminating project that is used to assess the cognitive concepts taught in our Fitness Unit. Students created a tri-fold fitness pamphlet where each "panel" of the pamphlet must include specific cognitive aspects taught in class. Students were prompted with the following using a assignment sheet. The rubrics included here were organized by points in grids so students could see exactly what each panel must include. The project was worth 21 points.

Panel #1 - a unique title with a hand drawn color illustration, your name, and your teacher's name
