TEACHER: John Osborne

POINTS : _______/ 30 (2 x 15) GRADE: _______/ 10

READ ALL THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY:

Some considerations:
● You will create TWO, independent presentations, one for each of your selected Ecuadorian
Protected Areas.
● Each presentation will be assessed independently but the points will be combined to
generate one single Q1 project grade for Idukay
● Other grades may be collected which may be included in Q2 P1 Idukay:
○ Scale of maps (math)
○ Using the Mozilla Hubs platform (Science & Compu)
○ Use of English language (English)
○ Use of Wakelet (Science)
● The presentations will need to be in a format which can be ‘posted’ to a wall in the 3-D
Mozilla Hubs Presentation rooms. This means pdf or Canva or a similar platform.
● You may add video or other links to the presentations but the visual presentation which
goes on the wall is the most important.
● Carefully review the assessment criteria in the rubric for the project before submitting it.
● The presentations should be submitted together by:
○ 9A: 10:45am Friday February 28th
○ 9B: 10:45am Thursday February 27th
● Any form of academic dishonesty will be recorded and reported, and will have the
consequences which are established in LOEI.
● You may seek help or advice from your teacher or other students or people but in
every respect the project must be entirely your own work.
