I think that in order to grade students on content and creativity, you have to give them the expectations ahead of time.  Just as the book states, you have to know where your students stand now.  How much do they already know about the content.  The best way to grade on content and creativity is to use a rubric.  In order for the students to be graded on content and creativity fairly, students should be given the expectations up front.  Students will not have any surprises and they will have a template to follow to know what is expected.  Everyone will be given the same criteria and expectations.  Everyone will be graded the same on content, but creativity will have to be based on the individual student.  You will have to look at all the projects to grade on creativity, and know the students.  How much effort, originality, and detail was put into the project.  The only way to do this is to know your students.  This is where you have to evaluate whether or not the student thought outside of the box.  Did they go above and beyond and used their own observations and speculations.  Did they just settle for the research or elaborate based on the visualizations?
