Mrs. Smith's Final Exam Project

For this final exam project, students will be placed in groups of two or three, depending upon class size. Each group will be assigned a specific topic from the semester. These groups must come up with creative ways to teach or present their topics to the class using the technology of Open Office Impress (similar to Microsoft PowerPoint). During these final presentations, all students must take notes for each presentation. These notes will be used to do the final step of the project, which is “Dump Your Brain.” In this activity, students must write down each topic that was presented, along with a brief paragraph about what they learned in the presentations.

Topics for each class are listed below.

Grammar: Nouns, Pronouns, Verbs, Adjectives & Adverbs, Prepositions, Conjunctions & Interjections, Direct & Indirect Objects, Predicate Nouns & Predicate Adjectives, Gerunds, Infinitives, Participles, & Appositives

English 9: Chapters from A Day No Pigs Would Die (1-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12, 13-15), Nouns, Pronouns, Adjectives, & Verbs

English 10: Cold Equations, Book of Sand, Pit & the Pendulum, The Bass, the River, & Sheila Mant, Nouns, Pronouns, Action Verbs (T/I), Linking Verbs (PN/PA), & Adjectives & Adverbs

Each Impress presentation is worth 40 points. The Dump Your Brain activity is worth 40 points. Thus, the entire final exam project is worth 80 points total.
