Assignment: Create a sketch note to illustrate one of the four macromolecules: carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, or lipids. Your task is to include major ideas about the molecule and include at least 10 details. Details can be in the form of images or text. Details should be connected in some way to one of the major ideas. You will also be graded on your creativity in the design of your sketch. Because you have been provided with a sample of a sketch for proteins, choose one of the other macromolecules for this assignment.

Sketch Notes (Rubric)	3	2	1
Headings / Key Ideas	2-4 Big Ideas are included and are easily visible by using color, text size, or other features	1-3 big ideas are obvious on the sketch	Big ideas are not clear, may be present but not obvious
Details and Terms	A large number of details and terms related to your topic are included (10 or more)	Terms and details are included ( 5-9)	A few details /terms are included (1-4)
Connections	Most terms are connected in a relevant way	Some terms are connected in a relevant way	Very few connections
Sketches / Creativity	Images, Color, Layout show evidence of thought and effort, sketch is easy to follow, and neat ,	Images, color and layout are show effort, but somewhat disjointed, inaccurate, or difficult to follow	Little evidence of effort, terms are just thrown together, minimal sketches
