Week of May 15-19

Hi Everyone! For those of you in periods 2 and 6 who want to see a sample proposal, you can take a look at this one here. This isn't necessarily the way yours needs to look, but yours should be at least as detailed. If your project changes after you write the proposal, that's fine! You will explain what you changed and why in the reflection.

If you need to see a copy of a blank rubric, click here. Remember, you only need to fill in the Level 4 column!
