Today we continued working on the projects encouraging thorough research before working on the final product.  The big idea rubric we discussed is attached here. Again, the point is to include accurate and plentiful history in your project.  Please consult the rubrics to help guide your work.

Monday 5/11

Today we spent the first 15 minutes explaining the timeline of the project and trying to make students recognize the hard work they need to put into this project.  We showed an example of the presentation all students will have to give in class before they present each of their 3 Big Idea projects. Students then began working on their first choice for the projects.  All students checked in on the "Status of the Class" sheet of paper before leaving class.

HW: Continue working on Project #.  Record reading time on reading log-150 minutes will be collected on Thursday.

Friday 5/8

Hand in completed Big idea handout. We will check these.

We will share example of one possible big idea example and talk you through expectations and your responsibility of getting creative and packing your presentation with history.

Research big idea in order to have enough information to complete your proposal.
