Sequence	The scene events happen in a logical order from beginning to end.	Some events are in order, but there are confusing parts.	The order of events is unclear.
Debugging and Revision	The student tests the project and makes clear improvements.	The student tests the project but makes limited improvements.	There is little evidence of testing or revision.
