Excellent Extremely aesthetic in design (shapes, patterns, etc.) All construction is clean and attractive. Visually appealing.
Structure Decide what type of bridge you want to design.	Poor Bridge with no real design. Contains less than 25% of the components of the specified type of bridge Did not maximize use of materials.	Fair Bridge with limited creative design. Contains 50% of the components of the specified type of bridge Limited use of materials.	Good Bridge designed with good creativity. Contains 75% of the components of the specified type of bridge. Good use of materials.	Excellent Bridge designed with excellent creativity. Contains 100% of the components of the specified type of bridge. Excellent use of materials.
Blueprint - sketch - pre-writing description includes bridge type and characteristics - post building reflection includes construction adjustments	Poor Bridge design does not match the design of the blueprint. Changes were not explained.	Fair Bridge design somewhat matches the design of the blueprint. If any changes were made during building, they were explained a little upon reflection.	Good Bridge blueprint mostly matches the design of the finished product. If any changes were made during building, they were sufficiently explained upon reflection.	Excellent Bridge blueprint matches the design of the finished product. If any changes were made during building, they were thoroughly explained upon reflection.
Durability At what point does your bridge break? Each water jug is about 8 pounds.	Poor Truss Bridge design could not hold even a small amount of weight (rocks)	Fair Truss Bridge design could hold a small amount of weight (rocks)	Good Truss Bridge design held a lot of weight (rocks)	Excellent Truss Bridge design was strong and sturdy.
