BULLETIN BOARD PROJECTS
*100 POINT TEST GRADE
*ONE BULLETIN BOARD PER TERM
1.Choose one topic from the list of given topics.
 All members of the group must agree on the topic.
 A topic may be used only once.
2.Each member of the group is responsible for contributing to the bulletin board.
 Each person works on an individual aspect of the topic and creates a visual for it.
 N.B. NO COMPUTER PRINTOUTS OF PICTURES ARE ALLOWED
FOR ANY PART OF THE VISUAL; A GRADE OF ZERO WILL BE
GIVEN TO INDIVIDUALS WHO USE COMPUTER PRINTED
PICTURES!
 Each person writes a two to five sentence caption to his/her visual.
3.Each individual is responsible for putting up the bulletin board on or before the
due date.
 Each member of the group is to put up his/her piece (visual and typed caption) of
the bulletin board.
 Both the visual and a typed caption must be put up. If one of these is missing
after the due date, that individual’s work is incomplete and the assignment will be
marked as late.
 One day late, after the due date, will result in twenty points being deducted from
the final grade of the bulletin board. This penalty applies only to the
individual(s) whose portion of the bulletin board is put up the day after the
due date. A grade of ZERO will be given to anyone whose bulletin board
piece has not been put up ‘one day late’ (which is the bulletin board report
day).
 PLAN AHEAD: A period of 3 school days will be allotted for getting the bulletin
board up; the third day will be the due date. If you are absent on the third day
and you have not put your piece of the bulletin board up, the 20 point
penalty rule will be applied to your grade.
4.Each individual will write a one and a half page report regarding one of the topics
of the bulletin board.
 The report will be graded as a fifty point test grade.
 Each individual will present his/her report to the class the day after the bulletin
board due date.
 A typed copy of the report will be given to me the day of the oral presentation.
5.Grading of the bulletin board will be done by four individuals.
 A grading rubric will be provided to those grading the bulletin board.
 You will grade your work.
 Two of your classmates will grade your work.
 The teacher will grade your work.
