Presents for Our New Students! Time has flown and our new students need to go back home  As a class we want to give them a warm farewell and your teachers will be gathering going away presents for them. We will compile all of these in a care package for them to take home. Think back and look at all of your notes to develop thoughtful and useful gifts that Gilgamesh, Hatshepsut, Daro, and Ban Zhao will be able to use once they return to home. Consider facts or geography features that you know about the civilization. Then think of something that would help them deal with this environment.

Expectations for gifts: - 3 items for each new student (12 total) with an explanation of why the item would be useful for them in their homeland - Creative presentation in cut-outs, actual materials, pictures, diagrams, etc. Use your imagination! -Inclusion of 10 vocabulary words total

The thoughtfulness of your gift will be based on the following: Each item will be worth 10 points (120 points total): -Quality of fact & evidence of research- 5 points -Logical & explicit connection of item to fact- 5 points 10 Vocabulary Words Total- 20 points Creativity & Presentation (just writing notes on a paper would be a poor grade but some type of cut-out, drawing or tangible object would receive a good grade)- 30 points Neatness- 20 points TOTAL: 170 points towards project grade Sample item for someone from DC: Since Washington, DC is famous for its cherry blossoms, I am going to give the gift of a paintbrush. The pink blossoms only open for a short time every year and many tourists come from all over to see them. The paintbrush is so that they can paint a picture and keep the memory all year long.
