Native Cultures Projects

We should really be getting into the projects now. Rubrics went home today, so look for them.

Also, here is the beginning of my list of resources to use:

This is Audacity, the program that allows you to record... and it's FREE.

One major problem students are having is ACCURACY. Many students are building/writing/podcasting before they even research. Students must load up on information before they create a product of their learning. Would you build a house before you've drawn blueprints? Bake without a recipe? Many students are doing just that by not having information before they build. Loss of points due to inaccuracies, not having resources, or being unclear will destroy your grade. Use these websites to help you find information:

Fact Monster
World Book Online (get the login from the IMC!!!)
Encarta
History Channel
Wikipedia

Oh... AND PLEASE USE THE BOOKS/ENCLYCLOPEDIAS IN THE IMC.
