|break it up into 5-8 | |

3. PROCEDURES

1. You will work in groups of up to 4 people.

2. The group will have a joint file as a group .

• All resource materials in their original form. This is very important because you will have to hand them in with the summarized material. This will prove that you haven’t downloaded articles and just printed them out.( = cheating)

3. The project must be based on at least 4 sources in English.

4. The total number of pages will be according to the number of people in the group:

|Number of Members |Number of body pages |

|1-2 |7-9 |

|3-4 |10-11 |

4. The Grade

For each step 1-10 above you will get a grade .

5. Important tips to remember :

1. Choose a topic which isn’t just Israeli because you won't find materials in English.

Do not choose a commercial topic either. Examples of wrong topics from the past :

Israeli police, Aviv Gefen , Meir Ariel , A chocolate company, Mada Israel etc.

2. Do not choose a topic that is too big because it will be too hard and you will have to change it . For example: Drugs , AIDS , Road Accidents , Pregnancy.

Instead focus on a smaller more interesting angle in the bigger topic which will interest you. Try to be original. Examples of good ideas:

The effect of alcohol on teenage road accidents ; Quitting smoking ; The dangers to the birds in Israel; Cellular Radiation , How TV commercials effect teens etc ; How teens can improve their eating habits ; The dangers of the internet for children; etc.

3. Make sure you keep to the schedule. Being late makes you

lose points and hurts your whole group.

4. Appoint one organized person to be the group's secretary.

Their job will be:

• To organize the meetings in the afternoon.

• To have all the material and bring it to the meetings and to class when needed.

• To remind the group of your schedule and nearest due date.

5. Make backups on several computers and in writing. You don't want to fail because of some technical problem. No excuses!!

6. Start as soon as you get this page. From experience, students who started early got higher grades and had better projects.

7. Save all the material you will get from the teacher. You will not get the same page twice and missing pages = missing assignments = losing points.

8. And last but not least, enjoy it because no alien from outer space

will do your project for you!!

Good Luck and Enjoy your work , Ayelet Raz
