April 27 ... Macbeth Museum Project Workday! ... (26 Days Remaining)

OBJ

Students will synthesize a creative product from their knowledge and analysis of Shakespearean literature.


WARM UP

MAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING ... The due date for the Macbeth Museum Project has changed.  We will meet in the computer lab on Monday, May 2 ... then, due to state testing, we will not meet as a class Tuesday or Wednesday.  Projects (Parts 1 and 2) are now due THURSDAY, MAY 5 and will be set up in the library on that date.

That gives you a little more time - I expect to see that benefit the final product.

ANYTHING THAT IS LATE WILL HAVE POINTS DEDUCTED ACCORDING TO THE DISTRICT GRADING POLICY.




TODAY

  • Review the project options today and brainstorm - tomorrow you will post your choices and explain why you picked what you picked in your blog.
  • Finished work (both Part 1 and Part 2) will be due May 3rd - Part two (whether it is a slide show or a video blog will be posted online ... instructions to come for that part.)
