Today, we just worked on our Wacky King Arthur project. If today is your first day working on this project, I’d suggest NOT working on the Action Figure unless you want to do some homework – it takes a bit longer than the other projects.

So. Yeah. A few things I’ve noticed from yesterday:

• Make sure that you are getting facts from the Shmoop page about the characters – if you use other sites for research as well, that’s even better!
• You can’t just use the small snippets of the story and expect to get a good grade – we’ve only read teeny, tiny parts of the story – that’s why you have to RESEARCH.

If you need something printed in color, drop it off so I can print it for you.

Make sure you are using your time wisely! Thursday is the last class day I have allocated for this, and the entire project is due on Friday!

If you finish with your final copy (that’s ready to be published on Friday), then you can work on this, but just know that there are things that we HAVE to do Friday before you can finish King Arthur.

Check out what Areli did today!

Great job!

Here are few examples that students did last year from a different research project, but I posted them so you could get some ideas for how to make yours:

If you look at this one, you can see that Cynthia actually put the times in the box with her author.

So, you can also put objects in your box as well.

Rolley, over on the right, used a toilet paper tube for his Action Figure. You can do the same thing! I also have other things you can use – think about cups or water bottles.

 

Remember, the instructions are in BB in Arthurian Legend under the Wacky King Arthur folder.

I’ve just seen a few people who spent the past two days working on LATE work. That means you are two days behind for THIS project.

We have 1o class days left until final exams!
