PROCESS
Steps to make:
Read all the assignments carefully and decide which one you would like to do.
Form a group, if necessary.
Study the websites about Stonehenge (see Resources). Decide which one(s) will be useful for your assignment. Make notes!
Read about the requirements. Make a timepath and divide the workload.
Make sure your timepath allows for common 'emergencies' such as printer
failure. Make sure everyone has an equal share.
Tell your teacher your plans. A date will be set for the presentation.
If you are going to need a laptop and beamer, make sure that you book
these.
Go for it!
Hand in your written work and/or present your work to the class.
Evaluation. Both your teacher and your classmates will establish how well you have done your assignment.
