http:// 6thgradegreece.weebly.com/
We are starting a new unit on Ancient Greece. For the final project you are going to have the option
to choose activities from the following list. All activities are given in maximum point-values, which
means that you can earn up to that many points, based on the quality, depth and range of your work.
You may not repeat an activity.
You can choose from any group and do as many from any group that you choose. Choose the project
that fits your learning style the best. All projects that you complete must reach a grand total of 50
points, as, that is what your final mark will be out of. You are allowed, however, to exceed this total
if you want to increase your overall total so that you can reach 100% if you did not do well on one of
your other projects.
All projects will be due June 13th, and you will be given class time to work on this, but I also advise
that you do take some time to plan and do some work at home as well. I would like to encourage you
to try your hand at making the video productions if at all possible.
Here is a list of all the activities that you can choose from. Choose projects that best suit your
learning style and what grabs your interest the most.
Good Luck
