CREATE ISLAND DUE DATE

The Create Your Own Island Project is due on WEDNESDAY, January 16th.  That means only three (3) class periods left!!!!

Create Your Own Island WINNERS!!

Congratulations to our winning groups on creating the "Best Country" in each of your sections.  I wish there could have been more winners because of how many great projects were turned in.  Thanks for all your hard work.

Hey gang...I'm out again for baseball.  I apologize.  Here is what I need you do accomplish today:

1 - REVISE
Every person in the group should be helping revise each page.  This means reading over the paragraphs and making any corrections that you think should be made.  Have a discussion with eachother if something needs fixed.

2 - PRINT OUT FINAL PAGES
We should be pretty close to being finished.  I would like to see final pages tomorrow to give you your Quality Points grade tomorrow.

3 - MAKE SURE THE GROUP SECTIONS ARE FINISHED
Remember that you are being graded on these also! 

4 - REMEMBER THE LITTLE THINGS
     - Clean up the MMC.  Make sure that it is as clean as when you entered.
     - DON'T CLOSE THE COMPUTERS UNTIL THE SCREEN IS BLANK
     - Bring all the materials that are mine back to my room please.

Thanks for working so hard....I am looking forward to seeing your finished projects.  If you have any questions please email me.

Create Your Own Island....RANDOM THOUGHTS

 A few random thoughts about the projects as we enter our second day of work...

1 - REVISE, REVISE, REVISE.  You will have to go back and make sure everything is as close to perfect as possible.  That requires you to go back and revise your initial brainstorming more than once.

2 - CONNECT YOUR REQUIRED PIECES OF WORK - The history of your island must be tied into the flag.  The flag must be tied into the description of your island.  The style of government should be tied to your history.  Again, please make sure that everything is tied together.  This means you must talk to your group members and discuss the project.

3 - MAPS...I GOT EM - I have the final copies for your political and physical maps.  I will also provide you with a world map.

Any questions, please stop by and see me.
