Citizenship Self Assessment

Today in class, everyone will be filling out a Citizenship Self Assessment.  We will be going over the instructions as a group but each student will fill out the Google Sheet as an individual.  

While you are waiting for everyone else to get logged in, please make a copy of this Citizenship Rubric into your Google Drive.  It does not have to be put into your GTT Turn in Folder as you will not be turning it in.  It is simply a reference for you to use so that you can keep improving your citizenship grade in this class.

Garden Party Project

Garden Party Project - 
Individual Project - Research what already exists before creating a solution of your own for the following:
1) Create signs / sticks that will identify the plants that are growing.  That way when the garden looks just like a box of dirt, you can see what will be popping up in a few days.
2) Create 3d representations of helpful insects - the more cartoonish the better.  Real looking fake bugs might not be as welcoming as we would want.
3)Create signs that show the benefits of each plant that is growing, or the helpful insects that you might find in the garden.  
4) Research garden pests and create devices to scare them away.

You may build upon ideas that already exist or combine features from several to be your one solution, but the final solution must be your own original work not just a copy of work that already exists.

For information on how to use the machines in the room, please check out the links along the right hand side of the screen.
