Thursday, May 3: End of Year Project (Cont'd)

May 3.egg on Aviary.

Student Objective: Apply critical-thinking skills to organize and use information acquired from a variety of valid sources, including electronic technology: identify and support with historical evidence a point of view on a social studies issue or event.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

• Your project is due May 24 at 4:00 pm.  There will be NO late projects accepted.  Keep in mind that May 24 is "Wildcat Day" and we will not be in the classroom.
• Check your email daily.  I have emailed some of you regarding the "impact" of your project.
• Project daily grades (e.g.- Rough Draft): you will lose 10 points for every day it is late.  Late means if the assignment is turned in AFTER the end of your class period on the proposed due date.
• This website thwt.org is a GREAT resource for you when deciding how you want to use technology to present your project.  On the left side bar click on "presentations and multimedia" for a vast amount of ideas!

1. Today you are continuing with your Rough Draft using Google docs.  Remember the rough draft should detail the process of your project.  Refer to the rubric that I have linked on yesterday's post for details about the rough draft.  This draft is due tomorrow.  

2. If you happen to finish your rough draft early submit it here.  You may not move on to the technology phase of your project until your rough draft has been approved.  Approval will be in the form of an email.

3. Here is a list of ideas for the presentation part of your project.  If you don't know what some of them are go to the site and review them.  Many sites offer tutorials.  You Tube is a great resource for tutorials, too.

4. You may begin to gather research data for your project as you await approval of your rough draft.  Remember that you must cite all sources that you gather (images, statistics, etc.).
