Week 8-- Peer Reviews5/31/2020 I will be returning to the school to run the socials hub every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoon. My online access may be limited at this time.
Presenting your heritage project: you have the choice of medium (poster, powerpoint, other?) but you must be able to submit it for us to evaluate. This week you will book one of the available time slots on Thursday or Friday morning. These are peer-led meetings of 4-5 students will allow you to showcase what you have been working on so far, and elicit some feedback on what you need to do next. Make sure you come prepared, and show up on time. Once you have presented, your peers will follow the 2*s and 1 wish format. Everyone in the group will present their project so far. Your year end review is due Friday. (Followed by one on one meetings next week.) Your heritage project is due June 12th.
