Chapter 24: Jazz Age / Turbulent Decade / Roaring Twenties Project Guidelines 50 point project for Social Studies 1. You may work with a partner or work alone. If you choose to work with a partner, the work must show that you each must contribute the effort of one person. If you do only half the work, you will receive only half a grade. 2. You will be presenting your work to the class on. There will be a sign-up sheet for you to pick your day. 3. All written work for the project will be due on the presentation day. 4. Class presentations should last three to five minutes. Please do not go to the front of the room and do this: Ummm yah this is my scrapbook / poster. Ummm it s about my topic. It s pretty cool. Yeah, I really don t know what to say. That s about it. Be professional, take pride in your work, and give us a presentation we actually care about and can learn from!! 5. All written work should be TYPED unless you have spoken to me ahead of time about any computer issues. 6. Everyone will be expected to be a polite audience member. Remember: ANY QUESTIONS????? I can cite the textual evidence that most strongly supports an analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. I can write informative / explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas, concepts, and information through the selection, organization, and analysis of relevant content. I can integrate multimedia and visual displays into presentations to clarify information, strengthen claims and evidence, and add interest. I can conduct short research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated question), drawing on several sources and generating additional related, focused questions that allow for multiple avenues of exploration.
