Section of Paper Points Explanation √ Overall 5 Organized paper, well-written, and sections logically follow each other organization, clarity, and presentation

Title 5 Title clearly indicates what the paper is about. 2 Title is related to the paper, but does not tell the reader what to expect. 0 Title does not clearly indicate what the paper is about

Introduction 25 In well-written paragraphs includes: (a) reasons why people should be interested in this article and how it may pertain to them (b) precise background information of the chicken’s development (how the egg forms; major points of organ development, length of gestation, etc) (c) labeled diagrams of fetal chicken development. Include the structures listed below. (d) Functions (jobs) of the major structures/membranes of the chick fetus are explained clearly. Include these structure: SHELL SHELL MEMBRANE AIR SPACE ALLANTOIS ALBUMIN CHORION AMNION AMNIOTIC FLUID FETUS YOLK 20 Includes ALL of the above, in well-written paragraphs, with details are missing from a, b, c, or d 15 Includes 3 of the above, in well-written paragraphs; OR all 4 with much detail missing 10 Includes 2 of the above, in well-written paragraphs; OR 3 of the above with much detail missing 5 Includes 1 of the above, in well-written paragraphs; OR 2 of the above with much detail missing 0 Introduction does not include any of the above; or may include one of the above in poorly written paragraphs

SHELL SHELL MEMBRANE AIR SPACE ALLANTOIS ALBUMIN CHORION AMNION AMNIOTIC FLUID FETUS YOLK 15 Observations not clearly stated in a well-written paragraph, or labels missing; 10 Observations not clearly stated in a well-written paragraph; or sketch missing 5 Observations not clearly stated in a well-written paragraph and 3-4 parts of sketch missing 0 Observations not clearly stated in a well-written paragraph and more than 4 parts of sketch missing

Conclusion 20 In a well-written paragraph (a) compares and contrasts a fetal chick to a fetal human in terms of structures/ membranes (= Do they have parts in common?)** (b) explain the similarities and differences between the functions (jobs) of those structures/ membranes Which parts of the fetal chicken and the fetal human have the same job? (c) Include a labeled diagram of a human fetus in-utero. You must label the following on the diagram: UTERUS PLACENTA UMBILICAL CORD CHORION AMNION FETUS

(Don’t forget to compare these parts of the chick fetus to all the parts in a human fetus: SHELL, SHELL MEMBRANE, AIR SPACE, ALLANTOIS, CHORION, AMNION, AMNIOTIC FLUID, ALBUMEN, FETUS, YOLK)
