Math Game Board
Due May 3rd, 2012
Rubric: Over the next couple of days you will be given packets of past Math MCAS questions. We will go over these questions and you will be provided with the correct answers for each of the questions. You will need to use these questions to create your very own math game. If you need materials please see me. In addition to designing a math game, you will also need to provide concise and clear directions on how to play the game. These games will be played in the classroom and you will be given a grade that is equivalent to a test score for this project.

Biography Book Report
Due Friday, March 16
Expectations/Rubric
1. It is expected that you will select a person to do your report on before March 2nd and that you will tell Mrs. McCarthy the name of the person selected for your biography.
2. You will need to read a book on your person during your own time. It is acceptable to read your biography during the required 30 minutes of reading every night and also during the 10 minutes of sustained silent reading in the classroom.
3. You will need to write a two- page book report that includes all of the important elements in the life of the person you have selected for this project.
4. To assist you with the rough-draft I will provide you with a template that contains all of the necessary information for a biography. You will need to turn this graphic organizer in.
5. The final component of this project is a 3-D representation of your person. There are several ways in which you can meet this requirement. You can take an empty soda bottle and make your character. Mrs. McCarthy can trace your body onto the big drawing paper and you can make a representation of your person. How you accomplish this task is up to you, the more creative the better. If you need an idea see me for assistance.
