EURO - Wednesday, 11/21

Today...

1. Reviewed Reformation - Crossword puzzle!

HOMEWORK
for Monday
Creative Projects are due! People doing technology presentations, please double check your technology, email it to yourself, etc. Remember, your projects need to clearly link to your thesis argument, be high-quality, and well constructed.

for Tuesday
Study for the Reformation quiz. Use the study guide, and don't cram! Re-read the chapters over the long weekend and study a little bit over several days, and you'll do better than if you re-read the night before.

How much content do we need on our creative project?

Should we just have bullet points, or paragraphs directly from our outline?

does anyone know what to do for the creative project??????

Ms. Shea said...

The idea of the creative project is to represent your thesis and method statements. If you're making a poster, think of it more like a mini museum exhibit. How would a museum present the information?

If you need to shift your project if your original idea doesn't work, feel free.

In terms of the amount of content, you need to have enough to a) represent the amount of work you did on it and b) clearly connect to your argument.

If your project is ambiguous, it may help to include an explanation of the thesis connection.

Please double-check the draft rubric I handed out to see what the elements of an "A" project look like.


Hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving with your families!

im confused about the poster can you help me

why are you still confused?

you just have to put your information on the poster with some graphics or something.

it's not that hard. read the hadnotus she gave us.

Ms. Shea said...

I'm not sure what exactly you're still confused on. Please refer to your handouts and email me with specfic questions.

Remember you can ask your classmates, friends, parents, siblings, etc. for help and advice! This project is pretty wide open - it's up to you how to put it together, as long as you have enough information to convey your argument.

You can double-check that by asking someone to look at your project and see if they can't figure out what your thesis is.

did you change the grading rubric for our creative projects?
I vaguely remember you saying something about that. I could be wrong. Just curious! =)

oh yeah, one more thing...
we just have to have one hard copy of our project, right?
no turn-it-in thingy, right?

Ms. Shea said...

I didn't change the rubric description, just the point values. The creative project is worth 30 points, and will get a separate grade entry in the gradebook.

No turn-it-in for this project, hard copy only. Make sure if you're doing a technology project that you have it in multiple formats - email it to yourself, flash drive, whatever, to make sure it works.
