Year-End Project

Your mini-project is due THURSDAY MAY 12.  Here's what we've gone over class.

*Decide on a topic that we have covered in Big History.  Topics include...

Big Bang
Creation Stories
Origins of Life
History of Cosmology
Evolution
Social Darwinism

*Decide what your final product will be (story/essay/art piece/film)
and customize this template to decide how you will grade your own product: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fhBksEGWsy584dmHXB-GzSsoa0HMl8mE99bYkndb-dE/edit

*Your final product should be answering a driving question about the topic.
For example, if your subject is evolution, a driving question might be, "Why did humans evolve to walk on their hind legs?"

*If you want to get extra credit and raise your grade in this class, first focus on doing a good job on your mini-project.  Then, you can earn extra points through the extra current-event curriculum on the New York Times.  Click on this link to begin and let me know any questions.  Show me how many questions your respond to.
