There will be a vocabulary project. Quarterly, students will create a key ring of specific US History and academic vocabulary, using the Frayer Method, with 3x5 cards, and receive two project grades per 9 weeks for it. Students will need to work on this at home in order to complete the project. Planning ahead and not leaving it to the night before it is due would probably lead to a better learning experience and grade. Cards will be graded on accuracy, following directions by using the Frayer model, neatness and completing all assigned terms. Following are the words for the first 18 weeks, the rubric, and examples of the Frayer Method:
