The deadline for the project has been pushed back to 15 Feb 2013 to give the students time to turn in quality work. Since I have given them now a total of 3 weeks to work on this project, provided them examples of what I expect and a rubric to follow any student who fails to turn in an assignment will receive a zero on the assignment and I will accept no submission of a project past the modified deadline. The zero will stand and will not be changed if the student does not meet this deadline.
The students were assigned a project on the 28th of Jan 2013 and given a rubric to help them complete the assignment and this assignment is due to me no later than 08 Feb 2013.
In order to complete this assignment students are required to pretend they are a reporter for an ancient Chinese newspaper and report on something that is specific to the chapter we are learning about Ancient China. This article can be about a famous person we have discussed, a building or landmark, an invention or a philosophy. Students are to write this article in their own words (there will be no cut/copy and paste please). The only exception is that students will be allowed to use a maximum of two photo's, drawings or pieces of art to help illustrate their article but there must be at least one page of text, article title and by line (the student's name as the author of the article).
I have enclosed a copy of the rubric below in case students lose the copy they were given or parents wish to view the scoring mechanism.
