For your final project, you will be creating another blog... there was so much positive feedback, that I thought this format, would be a good opportunity for everyone.
There will be some different criteria - (an no official handout/assignment sheet) - this post will serve as that.
You will select a topic that we have covered this year that you have interest in and that you would like to learn more about. (the last few topics will be women's rights, manifest destiny and westward expansion, and the causes of the Civil War).
- You will create a new blog and invite me to it
- You will do some ou research with both primary and secondary sources (and create a bibliography) some of these sources will have to be print sources (not just internet sources)
- You will be doing multi-genre style posts not just journal entries...
- You will have to do at least 10 different posts of varying lengths
- You will have some visual representations of your topic
- You will have a glossary of important terms that you've come across in your research for your topic
- You will work alone, by yourself, not with any friends, independently
- You will NOT plagiarize... i.e. you will put all things in your own words and cite accordingly otherwise... use quotation marks when you borrow completely... (a good way to know if it is your idea or someone else's is to do a "brain dump" before you start... whatever is on the paper the first day is what you know everything else needs to be cited)
- Make sure to give the reader a good idea of what your topic is about... why should we care?
- You will have a reflection that talks about your experience... What did you learn? What challenges did you face? What would you do differently? What came easily? What are you most proud of?
- You will also have a statement of process that will walk us through your process... How did you go about the project? What standards did you address? How would you grade yourself?
