Final+Projects



=Step One = Now that you have finished all of the requried reading and tasks, you need to complete the final project. Read the assignment carefully and complete the "What are Your Morals" handout. Completing this handout will help you reflect upon the many ways in which we can tie written folklore to the real world; it will help you understand why this material is relevant to your life.

You will be assessed on how well you meet the criteria of the assignment as well as how well you meet proficiency of the reading and oral communication GLEs. Please review both of the rubrics before you begin your project. We will be watching an example together in class as it is too bit to post on our wiki.

In addition to reviewing the materials on reserve at the library, visit the two web sites below and select one piece that you feel you can make a connection to and that will help you answer one (or more) of the essential questions from this chapter. Choose wisely. You will be using this as the basis of this project.

[] = =  =Step Two = Now that you are an expert it is time to put all of your new knowledge and great talent to use! You are responsible for creating your own written folklore. How will your story be modern? Consider the setting. Consider modern issues and problems in our society that have only recently plagued our society during the last 100 years. Have there been any technological, scientific, or legal changes to our society that force us to take a closer look at our morals and values? To narrow your assignment down you must select one item from each column. (you must submit transcript) || Scientific || (Tall Tale or Urban Myth) || Movie using MovieMaker or Similar Software (you must submit transcript) || Socioeconomic ||  There is no length requirement; however, be sure to incorporate all of the elements of the type of folklore you have chosen to work with. This will be graded using our narrative writing rubric (and oral presentation rubric where applicable) on the documents page. Please review the rubric before beginning your story.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Students will reach a DOK 3 by analyzing the role of morals in the contemporary world and comparing and contrasting them to the morals present in written folklore. By doing this, students will apply a concept in other contexts. Students who have demonstrated proficiency at DOK3 will apply contemporary morals to the creation of modern written folklore which will provide the opportunity to reach a DOK 4.
