Quarter 3 make-up assignment

For students who want to redo or do their quarter three project they may do so. The criteria however is slightly different.

You will do the exact same project but you must apply what you should have learned from the experience we have completed with the project. Additional things you should have learned include but are not limited to the following:
  • Waiting to the last minute is not good practice
    • many who did, did not finish
    • many who did could not resolve issues that arose
    • many who did could not create a product at the level of quality that they could have
    • many who did could not include as much as was necessary
  • Choosing a good presentation method is critical
    • what is easiest to create is not necessarily best for consumption (and this project is about having your views consumed)
  • Utilizing the resources Mr. Williams makes available should make things easier
    • if you do not have the tools you need, you should access the tools that others offer you.
  • Have fun with it
    • the students who applied their personal interests into their project made better presentations
    • the students who had fun with the project made better presentation
Here is the handout that explains the details of the assignment.

Here is the link to submit the project once you are finished. Your bibliography needs to be at the top of the Google Doc that you have already shared with me (quarter 1).



Below is a few of links to projects that were examples of projects from both the Modern World History classes as well as the US History classes.
