Written Copy Format
*All team members’ names must be written on the paper. Include which period you have class as well as whether you are even or odd days.
*Each movement of your routine must be written down so that we are able to read and follow along.
*List movements step by step vertically down the paper. This makes it easier to read and follow.
*This rubric MUST be turned in and MUST be in pristine condition (not crumbled, folded, written all over, etc.) or 5 points will automatically be taken off of your grade.
*Only 1 rubric needs to be submitted from the group.
*Although we prefer to have the final copy typed, hand written final copies may be submitted as long as the writing is neat and legible.
