Project
Requirements:
- Make a thematic collage base on one of the sub themes of sound, scan it (or take a picture with the elmo),make it into your background for your title page.
- Present an extended analogy of the ear, comparing it to another complex mechanism.
- Create a graphic chart using data from the sounds related to your collage theme. Compare the amplitude, frequency, and your reaction to each sound on a scale of 1-10.
- Demonstrate complex understanding of one of the Sound Vocabulary words using these features (at minimum):
- Definition in your own words
- Synonyms and antonyms
- A complex sentence using the word
- A two line rhyme that relates to the meaning of the word
- Go beyond the requirements. To have receive 5 out of 5 in ANY category, you need to go beyond the requirements. If you simply do a good job on what I require, the highest grade you can receive is a B. following is an incomplete explanation of ways to show initiative and go beyond my requirements:
- Extra EFFORT can be shown by doing more quantity than is required, getting work done efficiently in class, and going beyond what is comfortable and easy for you, etc.
- Extra CREATIVITY can be shown by using advanced features in the Powerpoint program, using graphics in a pleasing and effective way to enhance content, adding your own personalized artwork (beyond the required collage), making a recongnizable theme that adds to instead of distracting from your information, etc.
- Extra UNDERSTANDING can be shown by using your knowledge to show higher level thinking skills (Analysis, Synthesis, Evaluation). ANALYSIS: study the root parts of words, map the vocab words on the Sound Idea map, etc.

These are slides from my example project.
Use them as a guide and a source of ideas, but make it your own.
where you make an extended analogy for the ear.
