Overview - The students groups are deep into their research projects, and are beginning to produce some amazing results!! This week we will place our focus on getting the final copies created for our Power Points, Assessments, and Brochures. The students are definitely working more cohesively within their groups. The new peer evaluation forms have created a sense of accountability and responsibility. Students can no longer hitch a free ride!! We are looking to extend the deadlines for completing the overall project until after break. Next week we will turn our focus to creating travel commercials for the ancient civilizations.
DEADLINE FOR POWER POINT, BROCHURE AND ASSESSMENT IS THIS THURSDAY, MARCH 19TH!!! THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS!!!

Students continue to work on their Ancient Civilization projects. Some of the groups are now finalizing their assessments and PP presentations. Many of the groups are realizing that they may have to stay after school to complete the work.

We continue to work feverishly toward our deadline date of this Thursday. Over half of the groups are on track to finish within the set time. The other groups need to make a decision on how much time they will spend after school to make sure they meet the deadline. It is truly amazing to watch them come together and solve problems when the expectations are set at a high level. Nice job!!
Wednesday - 3/18/15 -
The collaborative groups are really starting to produce results with the deadline dates approaching quickly. Students are beginning to balance out their workloads within each group, and most of them are able to handle the loads. If a student is struggling, then the group has continuously come to their aid to remedy the situation. They have really taken ownership of this project and the evaluations are an excellent addition. They can see the end in sight, and understand that hard work does pay off.
