Instructions for final Charity Project

This video explains the expectations for the final project. Depending on how good you are with a computer, some steps may feel too basic. Don't worry about following each and every step, but they are there to help you if you need it.

I will post the rubric for the final product later today.

Wednesday's Directions!

Students-

• You need to have your outline in front of you while you work today. That's on the off-white/ buff colored paper.
• On your computer screen, you should have half the screen with NoodleTools open and the other half with your charity website, or Charity Navigator (depending on what you're working on)

Standard Level students, today you need to complete the following by the end of the class:

1. Citations for 2 sources: your charity's website and your charity's page on Charity Navigator.
2. 3 complete note cards, filled out correctly and given titles that are lined up with the points on the outline.

RTI pulls this week will be made based on the work you complete today. Mr. Holmbeck will be in to assist you.

You will need to go to the sign up sheet for your hour and type the charity you choose in the box next to your name. THIS WILL BE FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED BASIS. You must check to see that the charity you chose is not already listed next to someone else. If you are in conflict with another student, DO YOUR BEST TO WORK IT OUT WITHOUT MY GETTING INVOLVED. If you are unable to solve your problem, I will help out by assigning both of you a new charity.
