(think 10 points per day)

Challenge Objective

Students will be problem-solvers, figuring out how to do projects on their own, using daily demos, book, computer and peer resources.

Ask 3 before me!

Challenge Grading

Students will earn points for each project based on both effort and quality. Ms. G is the final judge on the number of points earned.

Students will also be graded on daily participation and reflection of learning.
