Important Dates:
Project Assigned:
Final project due:
Procedure: Students will be further researching Ancient Rome in class and at home to create an illustrated alphabet picture book.
Some time will be given during class throughout our chapters on Ancient Rome. After that, you must complete all work at home! IF you use your time wisely, you should not have too much to do at home unless you choose to type your book.
Requirements:
Cover – Bold, neat, easy to read, correctly spelled title and author’s name, and a color illustration
Dedication – Your book should be dedicated to the Roman Empire…you can pick a specific historical figure if you want. Make sure your dedication targets specific gifts/legacies given to us by the Romans. **You can also include a quote on this page too**
Body of book –
Ø Each letter of the alphabet is to have its own page with neatly done color illustrations (may be hand drawn and colored, cut from magazines or printed from a computer), and a neat, easy to read, description of the person, place, or thing you are writing about.
Ø You must have at least 3 sentences per letter. You must use proper punctuation, grammar, verb tense and spelling.
Each letter should include the following… 1) Definition of the word 2) One fact learned from class notes/textbook 3) One fun fact your found from research
Details of book –. Your book does not have to be typed but it may be. You will not be given any time during Social Studies to type your book. Typing your book will not get you any extra points.
***You MAY NOT glue your note cards onto the paper and consider that your book! You will not receive ANY credit for the project grade if you do that! (Yes, that means you will receive a 0% as a project grade!)
Book Due Date – Final project due:
**If you do not have your book turned in on or before this date you will receive a 50% for the project**
On the date that your book is due, we will be having a book sharing party
and peer review. Students may sign up to bring food and drink items to
share with the class J
