Mrs Smith's Classroom Projects

 

Our Projects

 

Some students were assigned a specific research project. The project will be published online and will be linked with the other projects in the classroom. Each student will have control over their own page and any pages they create, but will not edit another student's work unless it is a collaborative page. Students must agree to only post information for this project and will post no student information on their pages.  

 

Project Criteria

• Students will start their research on a teacher-approved topic
• Student research will be recorded first on paper or student-created electronic document
• Students will cite information that they got from published sources
• cite = tell where you found your information
• Google is not a source!
• Examples::
• Virginia was the first colony. (found at: http://www.americaslibrary.gov/cgi-bin/page.cgi/jb/colonial)
• This is a picture of General Greene. (I found it at http://www.americaslibrary.gov/jb/colonial/jb_colonial_greene_1_e.html)
• Virginia's first major crop was tobacco. (page 117 in our Social Studies book)
• Don't worry about what your cite looks like, just give the reader an idea about where you found your information.

 

• Student will create at least one page that presents the information they found.
• Student can create additional pages that support their reserach and will be linked to their main page
• Student can use some photos, but choose only a few since the site will not save a large amount of data.
• Students will avoid 'plugins'
• Editor passwords will not be shared with other students without permission from Mrs. Smith
• Students will answer all of the curriculum questions given to them by Mrs. Smith.
