World War I Layered Project
Be sure to consider AMERICAN experiences during WWI unless otherwise stated. Include works cited for all tasks.
To wrap up this unit, World War I, you will delve into topics that are of most interest to you! You will be
completing several projects of your choice. There are three layers of projects: C (mandatory work), B (smaller
points), and A (big points). You must complete at least one task per level. The items with a star (C layer) are
REQUIRED of every student. The entire project is worth 145 points. (Break Down: 65 points Mandatory
assignments; 65 points to be acquired through project choices in layers B & A; 15 points Show-N-Tell Day)
Show and Tell Day- at the conclusion of this layered project each student will have 5-7 minutes to present one
activity/assignment that you worked on throughout the layered project. These presentations must be assignments
from Layers B & A. (15 points)
Note: Just because you turn in a 10-point project doesnt guarantee that youve earned ten points. You have to earn
the points, so be sure you follow the directions and complete your work accordingly! You will be provided with a few
work days during class, some of the projects may need to be completed outside of school.
