Instructional Ideas

  • Complete the project as suggested or pick your favorite assignment; each assignment is described clearly enough and has its own rubric

Classroom Considerations

  • Learners will likely need more supporting materials, such as graphic organizers or outlines, model essays and projects, and peer editing guidelines, to complete a project of this size successfully

Pros

  • Includes rubrics for each of the assignments
  • Provides a blank timeline that you can fill out with the due dates that work with your schedule

Cons

  • Watch for spelling and grammar errors
