PART I
1. Think about what you can contribute to your field of study to enrich it. What is your product
going to be? Remember, it must give back and educate/impact others in a positive way. Write
the name of an individual (adult/teacher/advisor) who will assist with the product.
_ My final product is going to be a brochure and the names of two adults who will be helping me are
Ms. Theresa LaMotte and Mr. Mide Savage

2. Besides the fact that it is a requirement, why did you choose this product to communicate your
research? (Your product should reflect the research you have done.)
I chose this product because I feel as though it is the best and most efficient way to present my
research to other people

3. What is the purpose of your product? Why do you think it is significant?

_ The purpose of my product is to inform people of the severity and commonness of an ACL injury
and also provide examples of exercises that can be done to make a recovery faster

4. Who is the intended audience, and why will they benefit from this product? How will you
arrange the final presentation?
_The intended audience is a group of physical therapists/trainers/health teachers/coaches from Pivot
Physical Therapy such as Rebeka Coleman, Jane Isleib, Carlene Jerome and others who want to help
young athletes get through this injury or prevent it altogether. I will arrange the final presentation by
passing out brochures and then explaining them.

PART III
Product Grading Rubric:
In order to produce an effective product, it helps to have a rubric. If the requirements are determined
ahead of time, then creating the product will be easier. Although I will be the primary grader for
your products (your audience will also be grading you), I think that it is imperative for you to feel
ownership. Assuming that the product is worth 100 points, how would you divide the points? What
would be your grading criteria? How many points would each category be worth? Fill out the
following chart. You do NOT need to fill in every box.
