Due:
So we have been on the computer a lot. We want to get you time to step away for a little and do something entertaining and show off your creative talents.
For the rest of the week, you are going to build or create 3 different projects and you get a choice of these 4 ideas:
1- an ancient Chinese Scroll with beautiful scenery
2- a replica Great Wall of China that looks protective
3- a model Catapult following ancient Chinese tactics
4- a decorated Chinese lantern
Now, there are directions and some ideas to help you construct these but the creativity portion is totally up to you. These can be as big (especially the wall!!!!) or average sized objects as you have. DO NOT GO BUY MATERIALS FOR THIS. Use things you already have around the house.
You must fill out the slides each day so that we know you are staying with the pace of the due date on Monday. Check out the slideshow for more information.

Using your TCI textbook, read through Lesson 19 sections 7-9 (You already looked at section 1-6). You do not need to do the work in the TCI notebook but you ARE responsible for completing the form below.
Many of the questions are open ended and may require a short answer. The form may mark open ended questions "wrong" even though it is right. I promise I will go through the forms and hand grade those questions. As long as you have the main idea in your response correct, rest assured that I will give you credit for the question. As always, please check your work before you submit the form.
