Afrikan History Project – 2015
PRE – PROJECT ASSESSMENT- 1) Interview – Students will develop questions to ask about their assigned topic!!! These questions should be relevant and pertain to the subject matter. This part of the project relates to the M6 and it will be captured digitally via video recording (camera) and pictures (phone / flipboard).
Students will be working in groups of 3’s. All students will be required to put effort into the project on a daily basis. If you feel that one of your team members is not involved enough, then you should contact me immediately.
After the pre – project assessment students should start compiling research on their subject matter. This information can be done via internet / own observation and put into their own words!!!! This information should be compiled into a 2) power point presentation. The amount of slides are going to be determined by the group it can range anywhere from 10 – 25 slides depending on the amount of information that is on each slide!!!! Information should be organized and it should make sense. Remember to take pics of your progress as part of the digital recording via pics for your flipboard!!!!
After putting together you power point, your group should start organizing your information to put unto you project boards ( 3) Writing). These project boards are like the ones I showed you in my class. Project boards should be neat, organized, and creative!!! This will fulfill the 4) graphic organizer portion of the M6.
Remember to take pics of the progress of the poster board, this is where most of your pics from your flipboard will come from.
After students have worked hard and continuously on the 19 / 20 th, you will present your projects on video (recorded). This will count toward the 5) Oral Presentation portion of the M6 curriculum. You should practice you content and presentation before you are scheduled to record. You can also have one of your classmates to take pics of your group while you present for your flipboard. Some projects will incorporate 6)Debate into the project (i.e. Malcolm X vs. Martin Luther King – Who was the most influential leader?)
All components of the project must be completed if you want to receive full credit!!!!!! It will require work and huge amounts of effort, so let’s see if you are up to the challenge because it is easy to remain ignorant!!!!!
