At this point in your academic careers, you likely know what kinds of projects you enjoy working on. Are you a poster-making type or an in-class presentation specialist? What’s your preference: introspection or academic analysis? Group work or solo projects.
I am not assigning a project right now. Instead, I am asking that you design a project to go along with our unit on memory.
At this time, I am not asking you to complete the project you’ll be designing. Rather, I will select top ten (or so) proposals and you will choose one of those selected projects to complete. If your project proposal is selected, you will have different -- and, potentially, more enjoyable -- responsibilities from your classmates. See below.
Please consider the following questions in designing your project proposal:
- Does it connect to the text? (It needs to.)
- Would you actually want to do this project?
- Is it feasible for an AHS student?
- Does it lend itself to a rubric for clear grading standards?
- When is it due? Keep in mind that the test on Chapters 9 & 10 will be on or around Friday, November 18 (S Day.)
Write your proposal in such a way that, if selected, it can be posted to the blog as is. In other words, make the instructions and expectation clear but not overly verbose. Your project proposal is worth 25 points and is due next Tuesday, November 8.
If your proposal is selected as one of the project options, you will not be asked to complete the project. Instead, your task will be to design a scoring rubric and to assist me in correcting your peers' work. For this reason, students will be asked to turn in their completed projects labeled with their student ID number, not their name.
