In a nutshell, the 3rd Quarter project is to research the Ideals of the Declaration of Independence so as to determine whether or not they have been upheld by the United States, create a digital oral presentation of the researched materials, and post the digital oral presentation online for student review. The presentation must be posted online and shared before 10 p.m. April 1. (To avoid having last minute computer or internet issues from causing you to be late, it is strongly suggested that you post your presentation a few days ahead of time so as to give you time to work out a solution to whatever problems you might encounter.)
While we will spend some time in class working on this project, a bulk of it will need to be done on the student's own time. Some students will opt to use resources found in the classroom and they will need to arrange times after school to use them.
If you are worried about posting it online and you think you will want help from Mr. Williams with that portion of the task, then you should plan on finishing a couple of weeks early and then scheduling time after hours to have Mr. Williams work with you on it.
If you are not going away or you are planning on being busy over spring break, you should plan on finishing the project before spring break so that you can enjoy your week without the project hanging over your head. ("I was busy" or "I went out of town" will not be excuses for not having the project posted and submitted. Please organize the next six weeks in such a manner to meet your own personal needs - including the completion of this project.)
For more details about this project, you should take a look at the information found on the hand out which can be accessed from this link.
This link here will take you to the form that you will complete to submit your project.
DO NOT email the project. Sending the project via e-mail will not constitute a completed project. Mr. Williams will not be uploading projects for individuals. If this is a new skill for someone, they must arrange time with Mr. Williams or any number of their peers to learn how to do this routine 21st century task. (Mr. Williams assumes some students will need to learn how to do this so please do not wait to ask about it if you need to know.)
If you opt to use a resource that you are not familiar with, please make sure you include in your scheduling the time needed to learn how to use the new resource, as well as time for unknown problems to arise and be resolved.
