    Uploaded by

    Ruth Eller
    Students are assigned a Showcase Project to create an artifact collection displaying elements of the 4th grade curriculum through homemade 3D artifacts, with a written sentence label for each artifact explaining how it represents something learned that year. The project must include artifacts representing social studies, science, language arts and math, follow specific guidelines for content and presentation, and will be displayed at Open House for parents to see examples of what students have learned. Students will receive guidance and some class time to work on the project, but it is intended to be primarily student-designed and made.

    General Information
    You will be compiling an artifact collection that showcases fourth grade
    curriculum. Your project is due on Tuesday during the week of Open
    House. Projects will not be accepted earlier than this date, and late projects will
    have points deducted.
    The artifact collection will be worth 200 points.
    The project should take a minimum of 20 hours.
    o This works out to approximately 2 hours per made object plus the time
    it takes to write the sentence labels and to put together the display at
    the end
    o It should be clear that approximately 2 hours was used for each
    artifact based on the amount of effort that is evident in the finished
    product
    o Be prepared to show the Showcase Project Log to your teacher once
    a week and to turn it in with your final product. You should complete
    one artifact and label for each due date and then youll be ready to
    turn this project on time.
    The finished project must include a display box of some type and a name
    plate that includes a title and your name.

    reflects the 4 grade curriculum.

    The project is expected to be student-designed and student-made. It is


    expected that the project will look like it was made by a fourth-grader!
    There WILL be some class time given to work on the artifacts. The first
    artifact will be done together in class. The next two weeks, students will
    make one artifact in class and one at home. On the final week, one artifact
    will be made at home.
    Students WILL be given time in class to write his/her complex
    sentences. The teacher will assist with the editing of these sentences, but
    the student is responsible to use the editing comments to rewrite the
    sentences into a final draft on his/her own time. These sentences will be
    given a separate language grade worth 100 points total.

    Helping at Home
