The Great Scrapbook Gig

2011-10-06T19:23:00.000-05:00

Guys, we are boldly going where no student has before in my class. This project is called "Scrap-booking the Ancient World" and it's going to be MAJOR. Because I have noticed in the past that most students throw away all of the hard work they do during each unit, I decided to change that by creating something that you can have to show all of the work you put in over the year.
My goal this year is to have you generate something to help you learn and remember all the important things we study during our time together. At the end of the year, I want you to have something that you can look through and see all the things we have studied. In class, I covered the basic requirements that you need to have in your Ancient World Scrapbook, remember THIS IS YOUR SCRAPBOOK. You need to help it reach its potential and to do that, you need to add extra things. Bloe your scrapbook out-make your scrapbook cool. Make it something you can be proud of. Be creative, be imaginative, be a thinker. In my wiki, I will include the BASIC Requirements you need for this project, as well as some ideas for "Extra" things. I also want YOUR help in coming up with other "Extra" ideas for students. So, let me know in class what else you would like to add. I can't wait to see what we come up with for these Scrapbooks. Rock this project, guys!

A few updates...

2011-10-03T20:30:00.000-05:00

Papers will go home this THURSDAY and mark the end of my 1st 9 week grading period. No school for students on FRIDAY.

PLEASE make sure to study and do your homework. You will be surprised at how much it actually helps :)

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ASK!!!!! (Drop me a note if you feel uncomfortable asking in front of others)

I will stay after school Tuesday and Thursday this week.

WOW!
