Civics Project

Students, 

I received an email asking me about the requirements for the reflection for Civics project. I explained this a couple times in class in the last week, but I will post the requirements for the reflection paper. There are 2 parts to the final Civics project. The first part is the actual product or project that you chose from among the various options. You must complete the requirements for that project option and submit me a final product. Each option requires different things, therefore, everybody will be doing different things depending upon your choice. I previously posted the requirements for each of those choices.

As for the reflection: 

Reflection: 1) What did you do.  2) How does it connect to class concepts,  like current events.  3) Reflect on process and overall impressions.  1 1/2 to 2 pages; single spaced; Arial or Times New Roman, normal margins; penalty for going too long.

Also, in case you did not see my previous post, the test on Monday and the quiz on Friday have been canceled due to your class finals in your different classes.

IMPORTANT!!!! Test and Quiz Cancelled

Hello students.  It has come to my attention that you are in finals week next week.  Because of your class finals and need to study, I  am canceling Monday's test and the last Supreme Court cases quiz.  There may be further changes after I speak with administration next week.  Please let your friends and classmates know if possible.
