We will be starting our first quarter project tomorrow, September 27, 2011. Students will be placed into groups to further study one of the early civilizations we've looked at in class this far. In this group they will be creating an ancient newspaper. Each student will be responsible for writing one article and creating one additional item for the newspaper (i.e. comic strip). Students will receive each class period this week to work on completing their work. The final project will be due at the end of their class period on Friday. This assignment is worth two test grades and falls under our summative category (65% of quarter grade). Please encourage your student to put together a quality piece of work. Although it is a group assignment, each student will actually only be graded on their portion of the paper. This means their grade is completely up to them!
If you would like a copy of the assignment emailed to you, please email me at Amy.J.Taylor@killeenisd.org and I will gladly reply with the attachment.
First quarter ends on October 14th!
