This needs to be a serious take on "The Yellow Wallpaper". 

The movie will be shown in class, so it needs to be accessible.

The movie can be posted on Youtube or other video sharing sites.

You can place it on a flash drive and bring that to class.

You can earn up to 25 points each if you complete the film and show it to class.

You will be awarded points based on accuracy and prodcution value.

 Good luck and have fun!

Project Reflections

Project Reflections

 

After you have completed your project presentation, you will go back and read what students thought of your project. Look at the comments and see the suggestions or ideas other might have had regarding your presentation. After reviewing the comments, you will write a brief reflection piece that will focus on the strong areas of the presentation and areas in which you could have improved. Below are the requirements for the Reflection Paper. The due date will be on the class website and discussed in class.

 

Requirements:

 

This reflection piece needs to be at least 2 paragraphs long. A paragraph consists of 6-8 sentences.

 

The piece should focus on the strong points of the presentation and the parts of the presentation that needs improvement. Nobody is perfect, so take a close look at the comments and see where you could improve next time.

 

The reflection piece should be typed up and submitted in class to the teacher on the assigned due date at the start of class.

 

This reflection piece is worth 25 points.

Please see your teacher if you have any questions.

The Facebook Template tab to the right is a PowerPoint file. When you open it, it has a mock Facebook page of President Kennedy. You would need to change the different parts of the PowerPoint to make them fit the characters you choose.

If you choose to do this project, you will need to create profiles for 4 characters and have a 1 paragraph explanation as to why you chose this character, why they like the books, music etc. on their page and the other information given on the page.

Please see me if you choose to do this project so we can make sure we are all on the same page.
