Final Project (Day 1 and 2)

I began teaching the lessons of my final project starting 1/19/10. In general, I feel that the students are hitting the main objectives, while maintaining their choice in topic.

Students were able to research any area of Ancient China that they enjoyed. Some stuck with the basics - warfare, art, and mythology. Others, however, went into more detail. Some students chose to do more specific topics - such as The Great Wall, Calligraphy, and the Chinese Zodiac.

I feel that regardless of the topic, students were certainly engaged. As one will notice looking at the documents that accompany the project, students had to create their Essential Question and then evaluate websites before they begin their research.
