TWENTY ANSWERS PROJECT

Tomorrow you will choose your question for the 20 answers project.

The idea is to create 20 detailed answers for your question. These answers, ideally, can be used in essay questions on the Provincial exam.

When the project is complete, I will post it, along with the answers of my 2008 and 2009 classes, online for you to study from.

This project will be out of 60 marks.

SOME OF YOU can complete this project with a partner, although I prefer not. If you do it with a partner, you need 25 answers. However, if you work with a partner, be aware that you will both receive the same grade on the project regardless of the work you each do!…

HOW TO BE A VICTORIAN PAMPHLET
DUE TUESDAY, JULY 13 /20 marks

Make a pamphlet “advertising” to people how much fun it is to be VICTORIAN (it is not, really, all that fun). It is supposed to be ironic and funny but also contain some of the quirky weirdness of the Victorian era!

The pamphlet must have five categories for the types of tips relating to how to be Victorian.
VICTORIAN RELIGION!
VICTORIAN WOMEN!
VICTORIAN MEN!
VICTORIAN SOCIETY!
VICTORIAN SCIENCE!

Each section should have two wacky points with real facts, inventions, machines, crazy stories that REALLY HAPPENED, within it. Here is some example research I have already done for you in the SOCIETY and WOMEN categories!…

READ THIS

READ #2

READ #3

READ #4

READ #5

READ #6

Some more research!
TECHNOLOGY p. 14 of your textbook
SOCIETY: p. 13, 6 of your textbook
LIFE OF WORKING MEN: p. 13 (Economy Transformed) and p. 15 (Resources & Environment) of your textbook

HOW THIS PROJECT WILL BE MARKED:
This project will be marked out of 20. Marks are awarded as follows in each category:
4 marks per category (ie. LIFE OF MEN, LIFE OF WOMEN, TECHNOLOGY, SOCIETY, RELIGION)

1 mark for a visual of of the products/things mentioned in each category
1 mark for each of the accurate + wacky points in the category (=2 marks)
1 mark for organization in each category (ie. neatness, making it look good).
===
4 marks per category x 5 categories = 20 marks
