General Guidelines for Projects

  1. Look over the list and select a subject to research and eventually to present.

  2. Determine after some reading how best to present the topic: sing it, dance it, demonstrate it, cook/bake/serve it, read it, draw it, compose it, sew it, design it, explain it, or make it.

  3. Try to space out the time you have.  Make note of the deadline your teacher gives to you.  Set aside several afternoons/nights to spend researching, reading, and note-taking in local libraries.

  4. Be sure to make your planned presentations visual.  Posters, pictures, slides, banners, music, costumes, etc., all will help make it memorable.

  5. Make sure that you complete your project a day or two before the presentations are scheduled and that you know exactly when you are up.

  6. Think hard on how to be clever and catch the full and prolonged attention of your classmates.  Do something startling!  Ancient Greeks tended to be an unpredictable and emotional people.  Use this fact to make your presentation more effective.

  7. Decide if you want to team up with another classmate or two and check it out with you teacher.
