Group Project #1

First Christian Academy, Middle School technology and computers

Group Project 1, February 13, 2013. Due February 27, 2013.
Assignment value:  120 points (20 points for progress next week, plus 100 for the final project).

Get into groups of 4 people (3 or 5 with approval from me).

For this project, you’ll work in a group to accomplish a task using computers and technology.  You’ll be graded on the quality of the group’s work, and the depth of the piece.  Does it look like your group spent time on it?  Whatever you choose to do, do it well!  If the rest of your group says that you didn’t do any work on the project, don’t expect any points.


Ideas:

• Create a video 3-5 minutes in length that promotes an idea or sells a product (real or fake).
• Make a website that promotes an idea or sells a product (real or fake).  Suggestion to use wordpress.com as the engine for the site.  The site should have at least 3 pages on it.
• Create a presentation (at least 15 pages) that promotes an idea or sells a product.  Then present to the class.
• Create a skit that lasts 3-5 minutes and record it on the computer or phone.  All group members play a part.
• Make a cookbook with at least 10 recipes.  Insert pictures and make it look great.

Next week, I want ONE person in the group to show me a document that details out what each person in the group will be doing for the project (editing video, collecting pictures, writing scripts, etc.) and see some progress on the project.  Everyone in the group must have a portion of the project to do.  This will be taken into account if the project is not complete...it will be possible to see who did or did not follow through on their commitment.

The project is due in two weeks; February 27, 2013.  Start working on it now.  We will check on the progress that you’re making next week and you will receive a grade for progress.  You’ll show the project to the class as a group.  Then the entire class will vote for best group for extra credit.
