Congratulations

Hi Everyone,

Mr Steve showed me the work that you have been doing and I was really impressed.

I have told the College managers about your project and they would love you to see it when it is finished.

Would you be prepared to make a group presentation to the management team?

I hope you say yes! Keep up the good work.

Richard

Geohistorical aspects and a glossary

Tonight post the following. 1) Your first sentence with a date and nation (e.g. the space shuttle was first designed in America in 1981). Then list the words you have in your glossary thus far. See how many you can get.

Thanks

Be aware that the second draft is due soon (see post below)

Draft 2: April 30 or Before

Draft 2 is due on April 30, or before giving you just about three weeks for this revision. 10% will be deducted for every day that it is late. Remember that this is a draft, but works should be cited properly. You can work with a partner on this but if there are problems collaborating you are still responsible for getting your work done. The team work is a choice you can make.

For draft 2, the class posed the final rubrics:

1. 10 Blogs = 1 pt each = 10%
2. 4 additional articles = 10%
3. Glossary of 20 key words = 10%
4. Word limits = 30%

500-800 = 5%, 800-1200 = 10%, 1200-1600=20%, 1600-2000 = 30%

Must not include large block quotes. Only your writing here.

5. Materials section = 40%

Materials: A New Chapter

You have decided to include Ahmed's project into the current paper. Richard has discussed it with you and you have started to mindmap the common materials between two technologies. As a group (of 2) write down your team (2 names) and the 2 technologies you are looking at. Then, describe the common materials - and finally mention the 1 you will focus on in light of Ahmed's project.

Give a little detail on the material this evening. Where did it originate? What time frame? Which nations? Why are the properties of the material important.

Have fun making connections.

Steve

Draft 2

In draft 2 you will need to improve your writing, and build upon draft one. Remember that the work you give must be your work. It must be original. If you use large quotes they MUST be referenced AND this is one rule that just never changes.

For draft 2, the class posed the final rubrics:

1. 10 Blogs = 1 pt each = 10%
2. 4 additional articles = 10%
3. Glossary of 20 key words = 10%
4. Word limits = 30%

500-800 = 5%, 800-1200 = 10%, 1200-1600=20%, 1600-2000 = 30%

Must not include large block quotes. Only your writing here.

5. Materials section = 40%


Today, write a response to the following.

You have evaluated your own paper, and this was later checked by your instructor. How does this make you feel? What is a good point about self-evaluations? What do you need to change to do better on the next draft?

Thanks

Steve
