Last week, we started our next MAJOR- the "Where in the World?" project. The last day to work on this project in class is this Wednesday. On Thursday, students will work through a self-assessment and peer-assessment to ensure that they have all parts of the rubric complete. We will begin presentations this Friday. Most students will not get to present on Friday, as it is an Early Release Day. I suggested the following pacing guide for students to make sure that they get everything done on time: Thurs 8/10: Landform Identification (HW: country and continent) Fri 8/11: In class: Boundary and Plates, Movements/Crust Effects/Landforms (HW: Impacts) Mon 8/14: In class: Visual & Comparison, Begin to put together presentation Tues 8/15: In class: work on presentation Wed 8/16: Any last minute questions, wrap up presentation & begin to rehearse Thurs 8:17: Self & Peer Assessments Fri 8/18: [Early Release] Begin student presentations. Students who do not present 8/18 will present Tues 8/22. **Note: I have included both copies of this assignment below. The one on the left is the version most students received. The one on the right is the modified version. If you are not sure which one your child received, please e-mail me. It is very important that you are using the correct version for your child. Everyone is free to look at both of them, but please note that there are slight differences in the rubrics. If you use the wrong one, your child could miss things that are supposed to be in their presentation and could lose points.
