2 Project: Geographical Concept Quilt through Imaging Purpose Project: Throughout the course, students will be working on a 12-day, long-term project. The purpose this project is to: 1. Assess students understanding major themes, concepts and facts studied in World Geography and how those themes, concepts, and facts are connected to one another; 2. Make the information discussed, worked on, and presented in class relevant to students understanding how the information impacts their lives; 3.

Requirements Project: Students are required to: 1. Work in groups three (no more than four when one or two students are left over in class); 2. Work with their teammates to decide on three (3) major concepts to focus on daily; 3. Submit three (3) pictures daily, via , to their teachers based on the three major concepts (one picture per concept) that the team has decided to focus on for that day; 4. Develop a blueprint a conceptual quilt based on students interpretation how the concepts are connected to one another. 5. Submit a daily, 1-paragraph (approximately 150 words) explanation the geographical concepts chosen by the team, how the concepts are related to one another, and an explanation how the student would position the images in a larger quilt. Students should respond to the following question: What concepts did you and your teammates focus on for your photo essay on yesterday s topic, what do those concepts mean, and how are they related to one another? 6. Submit a 33-image quilt on day twelve (12) the review; piecing together the images that they ve put together based on concepts that they ve learned throughout their time in class.
