Individual or Groups of students work collaboratively to design a poster based upon their understanding of the European colonization of the African continent. Each group is to pick a country that was part of the imperialistic movement and after (the first of 1850 and the second of 1914) depicting the trend of colonization throughout the continent Africa as well as the rest of the world during the era of the "New" Imperialism: 1885-1914.

Over the course of term 3 students are assigned to create a class blog. The topics and content of the posts have been chosen by the students but evidence of sources to support the information should be present and cited appropriately. Each student should write an individual blog post, comment and reply thoughtfully and respectfully in a timely manner. In addition to individual blog posts, students are put into teams to maintain the overall quality of the blog.

Students are creating their own animals and will describe its life cycle. They will make a poster to present to the class. The presentation should tell about what their animal looks like as an adult, the stages of the animal's life cycle, what the animal's needs are, what the animal's habitat is like and where on the globe it can be found, and its adaptations to its environment. Students will use a questionnaire to organize their thoughts about their animal before they begin their poster.

This rubric will be used to evaluate how a student works and participates during activities (work, class, meeting, assembly, etc.). I have purposely weighted each criteria this way as I believe this rubric will be fairer to the lower level students that are trying to participate rather than those that are largely unresponsive in class - Fair = 3 and Poor = 1
