The Odyssey -- Gathering Background Information
Evaluation
See below for a description of what is required for the kind of grade you want. Note: a B grade means you have met all my expectations, so if you want to know what criteria I am looking for, look at the B-range descriptions (3rd column to the right).
Note: After this project is complete, there will be a final assessment in which you will use your notes (that you took on your group-mates' presentations and from your own research) to write out descriptive answers to 3 of the guiding questions from every topic.
