Sustainable Home Creation Name: This worksheet is to show how you will create a more sustainable home. The key is to defend your choices with facts and citing your sources, you do not need to choose a single family home. Cite sources! Current Future Improvements 1) 2) 3) 1) Described your indoor living space (i.e., square feet) Describe the location of your home and why it would be the best for you. Make sure to address: climate, geography, rural/urban/or suburban. 3 materials in your home and how they can be more sustainable. 2) 3) Energy use What are 3 things that use the most energy in your home? 1) 2) 3) How can you decrease your energy consumption? 1) 2) 3) Water use What are 3 things that use the most water in your home? 1) 2) 3) How can you decrease your water consumption? 1) 2) 3) References use (you should have at least 3) © 2018.

Course Code BIO-220 Class Code BIO-220-O500 Criteria Content Percentage 70.0% Size of Home 10.0% Describe the location: climate geography, and climate, rural/urban/or suburban. 15.0% Describe the 3 materials for the sustainable building 15.0% Describe 3 ways to decrease energy consumption 15.0% Describe 3 ways to decrease Water consumption 15.0% Format 30.0% Mechanics of Writing (includes spelling, punctuation, grammar, language use) 10.0% Documentation of Sources 10.0% Research Citations (In-text citations for paraphrasing and direct quotes, and reference page listing and formatting, as appropriate to assignment) 10.0% Total Weightage 100% Assignment Title Sustainable Home Creation Unsatisfactory (0.00%) Information is omitted Information is omitted or too vague to distinguish the location Information is omitted or too vague Information is omitted or too vague Information is omitted or too vague Surface errors are pervasive enough that they impede communication of meaning. Inappropriate word choice and/or sentence construction are used. No outside academic sources were used to support major points. No reference page is included. No citations are used. Total Points 75.0 Less than Satisfactory (65.00%) Information is too vague Some effort has been demonstrated in describing the location but missing at least 2 key components of the description 1 example is provided but unclear how/why 2 or more materials are sustainable An example is provided but unclear how/why action decreases energy consumption An example is provided but unclear how/why action decreases water consumption Frequent and repetitive mechanical errors distract the reader. Inconsistencies in language choice (register), sentence structure, and/or word choice are present. Few relevant sources beyond assigned readings were used to support major points. Important relevant sources were neglected. Sources were overused. Reference page is present. Citations are inconsistently used Satisfactory (75.00%) Some effort has been demonstrated in describing the size but unclear Some effort has been demonstrated in describing the location but is missing a key component of the description Only 2 materials are accurately described as being sustainable Only 2 ways to decrease energy use is described. Only 2 ways to decrease water use is described Some mechanical errors or typos are present, but are not overly distracting to the reader. Correct sentence structure and audience-appropriate language are used. Sources were adequate, relevant and extend beyond assigned readings. Sources support major points and writer's idea development. Reference page is included and lists sources used in the paper. Sources are appropriately documented, although some errors may be present. Good (85.00%) NA Information is accurate, appropriate, and integrated effectively but not cited or detailed enough. 3 material examples are provided but at least one is not clearly described 3 energy or efficiency examples are provided but at least one is not clearly described 3 water or efficiency examples are provided but at least one is not clearly described Prose is largely free of mechanical errors, although a few may be present. A variety of sentence structures and effective figures of speech are used. Sources are academic, current and/or relevant to support major points. Sources effectively and consistently support the major points and writer's idea development. Reference page is present and fully inclusive of all cited sources. Documentation is appropriate and GCU style is usually correct. Excellent (100.00%) Information is accurate and appropriate Information is accurate, appropriate, with at least 3 details, cited, and integrated effectively while demonstrating critical thinking. Choice of 3 materials is accurate, appropriate, detailed, cited, and integrated effectively while demonstrating critical thinking. Choice of 3 energy efficiency choices is accurate, appropriate, detailed, cited, and integrated effectively while demonstrating critical thinking. Choice of 3 water efficiency choices is accurate, appropriate, detailed, cited, and integrated effectively while demonstrating critical thinking. Writer is clearly in command of standard, written, academic English. Comments Sources are academic, comprehensive, current and/or relevant. Sources expertly support, extend, and inform ideas but do not substitute for the writer's own idea development. Sources are well synthesized to support major points. In-text citations and a reference page are complete. The documentation of cited sources is free of error. Points Earned
