Please be mindful that doing a 5-10 minute chunk per day noted will keep the project from overwhelming you.
Castle Project
Students will be given certain jobs for this project, and each job will have a specific pre-planning item to turn in.
The grade is mainly derived from the reflection about the process. This will be several questions, and students will have a week to complete. This is done ideally by doing one to two questions a nigh with spending no more than 10 minutes per night.
Reading Ahead
Students have permission to read ahead as their schedule permits.
