Extra Credit Project for Social Studies
You are to design a pop-up page about a person or event , which changed the world.
Written Part: Research and write a summary about a person or event. Make sure to answer the question: How did this person/event change the world?
Make sure to have ALL the requirements:
• Write a minimum of two paragraphs. The first paragraph would be the background information-sort of a mini-report. The second paragraph would be a thoughtful response and explanation about how the person/event changed the world. A paragraph is more than 2-3 sentences.
• Title with capital letters
• Name under the title
• Indent paragraphs
• Transitions
• Sentence Variety-Begin your sentences in different ways.
• Complete sentences
• Correct punctuation
• Correct spelling
• Correct grammar
• Word choice: avoid words such as things, very, good, get, like , pretty
• Use your own words- Do not copy from any source!
• Type your response using 12 pt. font
• Use an easy-to-read font
• Cut out the typed piece. Make sure to not have jagged cut lines. The cutout portion should be a perfect square or rectangle, OR use a neat but wavy cut.
• Written portion should be centered and matted on another piece of paper.
• Paper used for matting should also have straight, even, cut lines or a neat, wavy cut.
• Matted, written portion should be centered on the pop-up page.
Pop-up page requirements:
• Pop-ups should be large and showy but not so large that they extend off of the page.
• Pop-ups should be drawn by hand. DO NOT just print pictures from the Internet
• Color in one direction with colored pencils
• Use the appropriate amount of pressure- not too light or dark
• Make sure to color avoiding white space
• Border- about ½ in. border
• Color neatly- BIG, BOLD, BEAUTIFUL
• No smears, dark pencil marks, food stains, rips, tears
• Any writing on the page should be neatly printed- letters should be a uniform size-
• The background of the pop-up should be a picture. Do not just color the background a solid color or some design pattern. It should have a purpose. The pop-ups should be a part of that picture. It should be colored on art paper.
• The pop-up page should be centered on the colored paper.
• The pop-up page should be neatly and securely glued down.
• Your name and all of your information must be on the outside of the pop-up page where I can clearly and easily see it. It must be neatly typed.
I am STRONGLY encouraging you to do this extra credit project about something that you have already studied this year such as Leonardo da Vinci. Do not do a pop-up page about sports figures, movie and reality stars, and pop musicians. Keep your focus on world history. If there are ANY questions at all about your topic, ASK me BEFORE you start doing a lot of work on the pop-up page.
You may make 1-3 pages for a total of 300 extra credit points. If you choose to do more than one page, they must be bound into a pop-up page book. Your book must have a title and your information on the front cover.
If you meet all of the requirements, your project will be QUALITY WORK and you can pretty much guarantee yourself 100 points. One hundred points in most cases is enough to raise your grade one whole grade.
This project is due on or before May 26.

Homework:
Planner signed due: May 4
Read 30 minutes
Math- pg 638 # 1-14 and a theoretical/experimental results experiment.
Screen Time papers need to be brought to class on Thursday.
Soc. Studies: Work on your maps and memorize the European countries using the song and rap that we learned in class today.
Science: 30 students and Orange need to have their progress report signed and returned tomorrow! Orange also had the microorganisms test show up twice, so the grades are slightly different. Please check Skyward for the most up to date grade, since one of the tests was removed.
Language Arts: "Children of Perikoi" Questions and Leonardo DaVinci Questions due: tomorrow, May 4. Most students were able to finish these in class.
READING: Spelling/Vocabulary Test today. Worked on WWII worksheet with more time tomorrow and will be due on Thursday. Remember, the whole packet for The Great Wall is due Thursday 5/5. I will be passing out the May reading calendar tomorrow with the directions for the book report due May 16th:
The book report for April/May will be a summary of the book chosen for Holocaust/World War II. To summarize, think about the main ideas or the important parts of the book. Then write, in your own words, the things you have read. This would be several paragraphs because of the topic. The title, author, number of pages, introduction of characters, and a parent signature must be included. The report should be typed, 14 font, double spaced and include at least three paragraphs that tell what you learned from the book and how it made you feel. This will be your last book report in elementary school ( I know you’re sad ☹).
Signed book report and signed April calendar (with a total) are due May 16th. Signed May calendar (with a total) will be due Friday, May 27 or before.
