1. Student understanding of ecosystem services and products is demonstrated during the charades game. Use the following rubric to evaluate student success.

• Unsatisfactory—The student does not participate with the group in the presentation. The student is unable to summarize services/ products or make connections to the real world.

• Satisfactory—The student participates in the presentation. The student is able to summarize most of the services/products presented and can make connections to the community.

• Excellent—The student is centrally involved in the group presentation. The student summarizes all the services/products presented and clearly explains how the services/products occur in the local community.

2. Evaluate student or group work completed as a part of step 4. Students should identify at least one example of ecological, social, and economic benefits provided by their assigned ecosystem. As an option, individuals or groups could be asked to prepare a concept map, showing benefits provided by all seven of Michigan ecosystems discussed in this unit: Great Lakes, forests, coastal dunes, wetlands, agriculture, rivers, and urban areas
