5.+Assessment


 * __5. Assessment __**

**Formative assessment **: Throughout the process of completing the project, there will be two separate "due dates" where I will check student's progress. Each check will be worth 5 points, adding up to a total of 10 which will be added to the final grade total. The purpose is to ensure the student is on track to complete the project, as well as making sure there isn't any confusion or mistakes. The two checks will be:

1. One check at about the two week mark, when all of research should be completed. I will briefly check to see if the student has found information for all three areas (background, interesting facts, and invention)

2. The next check will be about a week before the project is due. This check will be looking over the student's presentation script, and seeing the progress of their Powerpoint. At this point I would address any missing information from their script, and discuss the creative aspects of their presentation. There will be about 3 more work days after this check until the whole project is due.
