3D Landmark Projects

Students have already received the information below last Friday, March 9.

Third grade has been learning about the USA government in social studies class. As a final project for our government chapter, students will be required to create a 3D project on a famous landmark found in the USA. A landmark is a well- known natural or manmade structure, like the Grand Canyon and Lincoln Memorial. These are visited by thousands of people every year and are important to a country.

Students are encouraged to get creative and use any (non-edible) materials to design their project. For example, they can use popsicle sticks, paint, clay, colored paper, etc. Projects are worth 100 points and will be counted as 1 test grade. Students will complete a report in class about their landmark after reading their information book that was provided to them. Projects are due Monday, April 9th. Students may bring their projects earlier if they are completely done :)

Mustafa- Grand Canyon
Randa- White House

Students will be graded on the following:

Accuracy	20 points	For example, landmarks should look as close as possible to how they are in photographs.
Neatness	20 points	No sloppy work please. These will be displayed for others to see and admire J
Creativity	40 points	The more ways you can creatively display your landmark, the better!
Oral presentation	20 points	On the due date, a short oral presentation will be done by each student to present their project to the class.

Character Day 2018

Students received the information below before the winter break :)

3^rd grade has read biographies in class and learned about sequence, theme, character traits, and timelines. Thus, they will be creating mini projects and presenting what they have learned on January 17, 2018 (Character Day).

Mustafa- Christopher Columbus

Randa- Helen Keller

Salih- Abraham Lincoln

Students will be expected to do the following:

Personality trait mobile (will be done in class)	20 points	Students will come up with 4 traits that describe their person with evidence from the text.
Theme booklet (will be done in class)	20 points	Students will identify 2 lessons they learned from the lives of their chosen person. For example, don’t give up on your dreams, work hard, treat everyone with respect, etc.
Dressing up on Character Day	30 points	Students MUST come dressed up as their person. Dress up, make props, etc. so others will have a good idea of who you are representing. For example, make a stovepipe hat and beard for Abraham Lincoln, a braille book for Helen Keller, and a hat similar to Columbus’s.
Oral presentation on the stage (on January 17, 2018)	30 points	Students will prepare an index card with a few facts to share. A short oral presentation will be done by each student.
