Dear Parents & Students...
Attached is a copy of four items: Bare Bones #2, Portfolio #2, and GPS Project #2.
Bare Bones:
This covers the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS) for Unit #2 in question format. Students will have the choice to complete the highlighted terms and not answer the questions. Or, students can complete each of the GPS questions on the Bare Bones. The vocabulary quizzes taken each unit will be taken from the Bare Bones which is why these should be completed before the day of the quiz. They will be due the day of the unit test.
Portfolio:
This is a set of assignments students will complete. Assignments will generally consist of maps, timelines, on-line assignments, unit-specific questions, study guides for the test, and a variety of activities. This will be due the day of the unit test.
GPS Project:
This is the unit project (related directly to the standards) in which students will create a product which is unit and "standard" specific. Students will have an opportunity to work individually, in a pair, or in groups with up to six students. Students will have a choice to create historic newscasts, newspapers, lyrics to songs (or poems), picturebooks, graphic organizers, etc. This assignment will be completed in both the library and at home. The GPS Project will be due the day of the test. Students who volunteer (or are assigned) to present to the class as a review will have the GPS Project due the day before the test. The presentation will be assessed as part of the grade for the GPS Project and will work as a review for all students in class. Students will be required to complete a minimum of three presentations (one every four units).
GPS Project Rubric:
The GPS Project - Rubric was distributed to students on the first day of the semester and will need to keep in the front of student notebooks (binders). Students will refer to this rubric to determine what type of assignment they want to complete for each unit's GPS Project.
Please email me if you have any questions!
Thank you.
