El Proyecto Day One

Nombre___________________        LOS MAPAS DE AMÉRICA LATINA
Trabajo: Proyecto 1 Explanation

Today la clase begins an exciting project! We are going to construct three dimensional maps of Latin America, so that every student can see all the different types of land contained in Latin America. You will get to build islas, montañas, ríos, mares, selvas y desiertos out of many different and colorful materials. There are several objectives for this project.

            °° Every student will be able to locate and name los paises of Latin America.

            °° Every student will be able to describe the geography of los paises, and analyze
    how geography affects culture and how people live.

¡Los Trabajos!       (The jobs!)

Everyday we will have the same two jobs. We will rotate who does each job. They are…

-          La lectura:  This person will read over the instructions, giving advice and directions to the cartographer.

-     The Cartographer:  This person will be in charge of labeling, or putting
       materials on los mapas.

The Procedures!

1.      Everyday there will be an objective. We will start class by reading the objective.  At the end of the class you will evaluate how well your group met the objective.

2.      We will split into partners, and jobs will be assigned. Teams will have approximately 30 minutes to work.

3.      Lastly, we will fill out evaluations. You will evaluate (by yourself) how well your team met the objective. You will also give shout ups and shake ups to your partner as necessary.

The Grades!  ¡Ojo!  This project is 10% of your six weeks grade. This is equal to a six week’s exam!!!!

            1. Team Work Time:  30%
  ‘A’ work means that you are always on task, and are working enthusiastically with a six
   inch voice or less!

2. El Mapa - The Finished Product: 50%
   Your map should be nothing less than beautiful. Keep your work neat, accurate. Be
    diligent and proud of your effort!


3.      Evaluations 20%  
I will grade your evaluations each day. You need to be honest, creative and diligent.
