8th grade project visual component proposal
Name:
Proposal for Visual Component of 8th grade project
1. The visual component will be a display/demonstration/activities that you will present to members of the Synergy community during the week of May 18th (actual date still to be determined)
Since most people won’t have time to read your full report, this will be the main way to present your topic. It is worth 35% of your grade.
Here are some ideas from previous projects to get you thinking:
Topic: Display
Fencing a video of the student fencing, and a display/demonstration of all the fencing equipment
The Mission District a video the student made with interviews of people in the Mission, plus a display with photos
Sweatshops a power point demonstration and a handout of what companies to avoid that use sweatshop labor
Green Building a whole green presentation, including sod, green energy sources, a power point presentation all together as one display
Catapults (Trebuchet) a self-constructed catapult
Name___________________________________________________________________
Proposal (due on Friday, March 13th)
OVER
Supplies needed (note: plan to get these yourself, unless you need help. You will need to ask way ahead of time if you need our assistance. We will have display boards available for purchase if you need one. )

8th grade project
Eighth Grade Project---------2007-08
What is the 8th grade project?
It is a project of your choosing (with our approval). It’s a chance for you to learn more about, and present, a topic that you’ve never had a chance to study in-depth before.
There are two or more parts to the project, depending upon your topic. Your topic may be a community service project, in which case photos and other documentation may be used. However, you still need to research and write a report about the organization, needs etc.
Part One:
****Research and write a report. This will be 10 or more pages, handwritten or word-processed using a common font, such as Times New Roman, size 12 font.
Part Two:
****Present your topic to the Synergy community. This will be an evening in late May. As we talked about in class, you may present your report in a “traditional” way with a poster type display, including illustrations. You may also choose to make a web site, a power point presentation and/or an actual demonstration of your topic.
Tentative beginning timeline (subject to change)
1. Brainstorm topics Thursday, January 17th
2. Finalize your topic Friday, January 18th
3. Have a parent/adult sign this form Thursday, January 24th
4. Develop a list of questions your Thursday, January 24th
report will answer and/or topics you
will cover. (a form will be handed out)
5. Gather and begin reading first source Friday, January 25th
and organize a folder for your work
(your source needs to be approved by
Elena or Tammy)
6. Take notes on first source Friday, February 1st
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Parents---This is for your information. Please sign to indicate that you know about the project and are aware of our first due dates. Your child may need help with a trip to the library and other needs that may arise.
