Hello Grade 9 Social Studies!

Below, you will find the updated version of the Ancient Civilization Project.
Please look over these rubrics, as on Friday, we will be discussing them in class. If you do not like the rubrics, have a question or feel like you should be marked on less things, different things, please write them down. On Friday, when going over the rubrics, you will have a chance to state what you feel you should be graded on and we may change the rubrics accordingly. This is your opportunity to be active in your own evaluation so please make sure you write down your comments about the rubrics.
 * Please note that the Visual Presentation has been changed to a Infomercial and you must include a Google Earth Image. This has been changed from the original version, which you were handed out. We are also asking you to create a script and to include another media tool within your presentation, we will show you examples of different tools in the weeks to come. We also took out the discussion portion and left it as an activity that you can lead your classmates through.Another change can be found in the poster section; we are asking you hand in 3 images of artifacts from your civilization to be used in a game that Ms. McFarlane and Mr.Headrick will be creating after the project is presented. Please look at the document and make the changes on your assignment handout.**
 * As well, you will find rubrics attached that say what you will be graded on.**

We hope you have some fun with this assignment and voice any concerns you have!

Cheers, Ms. McFarlane and Mr. Headrick
