GOLDEN AGE INQUIRY BASED PROJECT

Dear Sec 1s,
Here comes your first history project!
You will be working on a project based on Chapter 4, Golden
Age. You will be required to create a glog (similar to a blog)
using Glogster.
Not to worry, Glogster is fun and easy to use. We will be
spending a lesson familiarizing ourselves with the website.
You will be working in groups of 4s. Each group will be assigned
to research two inventions from either the artistic or scientific
advances from China, India or Southeast Asia.
Your group will also be give a 5 minutes to present your project
to your classmates. This is an opportunity to showcase your
glogster and research findings.
You will be graded on content details, presentation of
information and use of animation. Bonus marks will also be
given for creativity, positive work attitude and early
submission of project. The rubrics for this project can be found
on the following page.
Please note that this assignment will count towards CA marks.
Feel free to approach your teachers if you have any questions.
