World History – Mr. Hayward
India “You Pick” Points Project
Due: Monday, February 6th
For this unit, you will pick the things that you want to learn about in India. You will need to turn in “10 points”, but you can choose which items you want to do that will earn you ten points. I will grade each piece of your project, and then multiply the final score by 10. Therefore, the whole project is worth 100 points. Completing more than 10 points may earn you extra credit, but you may only complete each project once.
All ten points are due Monday, February 6th , and everyone will be required to present something they completed with the class that week. You will have 1/23, 1/24, 1/25, 1/26, 1/27, 1/31, 2/1,2/2, 2/3 in Lab 231 to work – make sure you use your time wisely! You may bring headphones to the lab to watch videos and listen to dialogue if you would like.
This packet will be linked to my website so you can also download the materials to use at home. Remember you can also access your school files at home to work on using the link on my website. You may submit digital copies of work via email to me. Everything you turn in to me should be in a polished format – ink, clear, typed, etc.
Your homework for Monday 1/23 is to read this entire packet and check the projects you would be interested in completing, then fill out the calendar on the last page.
These projects are instead of having a test, so make sure you put forth your best effort. Projects should be neat and typed where necessary. Use creativity, color, and clarity.
Show me drafts often so I can help steer you toward earning the maximum points.
