Benchmark & Facebook Project Review (13/1 & 2)

Today you will be completing Benchmark Testing for the School District of Philadelphia.  Use you Student ID# and your personal password to login to the SDP WEBSITE.  Once there, please double-click the button for STUDENTNET and proceed to log into the testing site for ACUITY on the left-hand side of the screen.  Please complete both the Language Arts and Math Benchmark Tests.  Once completed, I will record your score before you log out of the test.  You are then free to work on First In Math with your login and password (See Me If You Do Not Have It!), or your Facebook Historical Project.

Here is the GRADING RUBRIC for the FACEBOOK Project:

You must have the following items:
  1. Your name on the top of the page (Parenthesis Behind Historical Person's Name)
  2.  Pick a historically significant day in the person's life.
  3. Information Bars Timely and Accurate For The Period
  4. At least six (6) friends from the same period.
  5. Basic Information Accurate and Complete
  6. Address, Phone, and other items accurate and complete
  7. Six items posted on WALL.  At least two from someone else of that time period.
  8. Timeline from Birth to Death (If Applicable).  Must include at least six major events.  Bonus Points for more than 10 events.
  9. Bibliography with at least five sources.  NOT Wikipedia, NOT Google.  Items must be correctly referenced.
Grading will be as follows:

  • All Items Above     -     20 points
  • About Me Section  -     10 points  (Historically Accurate Facts)
  • Profile Information  -     10 points  (Accurate)
  • Groups and Friends  -   10 points  (Timely)
  • Pictures and Aesthetics  -  10 points  (Extra for 10 or more)
  • Creativity        -    20 points (Topics, Conversations, Post Information)
  • Organization & Layout  - 10 points (Appropriate Background and Styles)
  • Overall Quality of Work - 10 points (Complete Timeline and Bibliography)
 You should know that your Historical Figure will also be the topic of a Written Report when we work on Word over the next few weeks.  The information you find will be used again for that report.

When you are finished with your project, you must save it as a PDF file and ATTACH it to an email to me at hscribnercaa@gmail.com.  I will review it and return it with changes before entering a final grade.  This project is due anytime this Marking Period.

Good Luck and Thanks for your continued good behavior.

Integrity (13 Characteristics)

13 Characteristics of People Who Have Integrity

1. They Value Other People's Time: They value their own time so they also value the time of other people. They know you have plenty of other places you need to be and won’t hold you up. If you spend time with them, it is likely they will thank you for that as well.

2. They Give Credit Where It Is Due: They do not take credit for things they did not do. They will always credit those who deserve it. If you help this person with a project he or she will likely mention your name so you can take credit for your work.

3. They Are Authentic: They are their truest forms. You won’t catch them in a lie or being fake.

4. They Are Always Honest: They are honest people that feel no need to lie as it is important for them to get to where they need to get in life honestly.

5. They Never Take Advantage Of Others: They are not the kind of people who will take advantage of someone else. They love to build people up and help them get where they need to be. Taking too much from someone else will never be an issue with someone who has a lot of integrity.

6. The Do Not Argue Over Disagreements: They will talk through things in a civil manner or not talk at all. You cannot and will not force this person into arguing over something completely ridiculous. I find this to be a very respectable trait.

7. They Give Most People The Benefit Of The Doubt: They try to see the good in everyone. I think this is because they feel like maybe there are more people in this world that also have integrity. That being said, if you take advantage of them too much they will get rid of you.

8. They Know When Something Is Bothering Someone: They have a great intuition that lets them know when something is going on. If someone is down in the dumps they will notice. Chances are they will actually do what they can to cheer you up.

9. They Believe In Others: They accept your word as truth until it is dis-proven. That being said, they do not take lying well. And once you lie to them, it is unlikely that they will ever take your word again.

10. They Apologize First: If they have done something wrong they will come to you and apologize. This is just how they are. They own up to their mistake and try to make things right.

11. They Are Humble: They do not quite know their own worth. While they are very important and do so much good they don’t quite see it. You should remind them of it.

12. They Do Good When They Can: They are always helping other people. They love to know that they have improved someone’s life. It gives their lives meaning.

13. They Are Always Kind To Those Who Need It: Giving kindness can go a long way. When someone looks like they need a little pick me up these people deliver. They can brighten up almost anyone’s day.

If you are someone who has true integrity, thank you for being who you are and thank you for all that you do. You really do actually make a difference in society, please keep up the good work. If you feel no one else is proud of you, know that I am.
