Culture Project

I am allowing the students to work on their projects at home.  If they are bringing their posters home, they should have articles for the United States and also for the country they have chosen.

If they are working on a slideshow, they need to go to drive.google.com.  It will bring them to a login page.  They need to enter the same information they use for the white screen on their chromebooks. They will understand what this means.  Once on their google drive, they need to open up their presentation.

To find the information, they will need to go to everyculture.com and choose the United States and their country.

For iPhones, iPads, Samsung Galaxies and Android devices, students will need to download the google slides app from the store.  This app is free.  The students  have been told this and shown what the app looks like.  Once downloaded, and in the app,  the students need to enter the same information as their white screen for the chromebooks.  The students will need to also use safari or whatever the internet icon is on the device to go to www.everyculture.com and look up the information.


If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email me.  I will check my email all night.  My email address is golubsks@clever.k12.mo.us.


Thank you,

Culture Project

Just wanted to let everyone know, I told the students they could look up the information needed for their projects this weekend.  They need to find information on the elements of culture (beliefs, education, family, art, government and economy) for the United States and the country they chose.  All the information can be found at Every Culture, http://www.everyculture.com/.

Thank you,

The students will be continuing to work on their culture project on Monday and Tuesday.  The directions and rubric can be found in Important Documents.  For the rest of the week we will be starting our unit on Mesopotamia.  There is a folder set up for Mesopotamia on my Important Documents.  If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.  Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Good Evening!

Next week, we will be working on our culture unit.  On Tuesday, the students will take their assessment.  The study guide and rubric can be found in the Important Documents.  I will also put the link within this post.  Starting Wednesday, students will be working on a culture project.  For this project, students will choose one country to compare to the United States.  Students will compare these countries using the Elements of Culture.  The rubric and directions can also be found in the Important Documents.  For this project, it would be good for students to have their Internet Usage Agreement form turned in.  Here is the website for the Important Documents http://cleverelemiddle.ss4.sharpschool.com/cms/One.aspx?portalId=15986&pageId=654111.  I hope everyone has a great weekend!
