Project 1 Example

Picture
On the project overview page, you provided a brief overview of this project. Use this space at the top to delve deeper in to your project without revealing everything. You want to share what you learned from completing this project (thinking skills, soft skills, and other personal reflections). 

All of this is necessary because the reader has never seen your work. They want to understand it - so help them. Explain how they might flow through your work. Therefore, the remainder if your design must follow this path.

English

Below you will read a poem about the ocean. There will also be an explanation that will further explain, line-by-line, what I intended the reader to grasp.

Art

I chose to do a painting of the ocean. I wanted to reflect the void that exists within us and within the world's largest bodies of water.

Social Studies

The ocean is something that has a mysterious draw. This appeal, primarily psychological, has pulled many people to explore its many corners.

Poetry

Here would be an explanation of why I chose to write a poem. 
Poem: Fugitives
​Wes Ward
I thought the Canyon swallowed my father
when he climbed, camera-backed, down
the jagged slope, sloping toward its guts.

Emerging minutes later, a sunbleached rock
in each hand, he panned the crest for anyone
who might see. “You can’t take these,”

he said. “They belong to the government.”
At ten years old, I assumed everything did.
And I was careful when I handled anything:

a grocery cart, a pencil at school,
the chipped paint on the monkey bars.
Everything belonged to them.

Now, when I see those canyon rocks,
the bookends in the den, Bukowski tilting
toward the Earth, I pretend we’re fugitives,

all of us, waiting for the blue lights, the sirens
to scream for their rocks, to lure us back
to the steeping cliffs, where we plummet.

On this side of the poem, I might provide several paragraphs that explain the most important lines of the poem. It would be allow the reader to understand your intentions with the poem. 

Art

Here would be an explanation of why I chose to create a painting.

This explanation might highlight the developments/progress in my painting. I would talk about painters that influenced my work and could include examples of their work. You might also discuss the intent you used with certain colors and address symbolism that is evident in your work.

Social Studies

Here would be an explanation of a timeline, thematic connections,
or the greater of body of research that was completed for this project.

The infographic discusses the importance of the oceans and how there is a stronger appeal for exploration....You might want to explain your research and how it impacts your poem and piece of art. Creating a context, or simply a discussion, will help the reader gain a deeper understanding of your work. Also, you might want to provide a PDF of your deeper and darker research. Remember, evidence is paramount.
