So our World teachers finally watched the infamous History Fair project that we revised for them, and they gave us a grade: and 80. We got five points off for not having an annotated bibliography, which is fine, and then five points off for not following each of the three words in the theme: Explore, encounter, and exchange. So we got an 80.

So pretty much what this means is "I didn't like your project but you mostly followed directions so I have to find something to take points off you for."

Sort of pisses me off. Plus they won't let us enter into the actual history fair, nor will they even let me show my class, who never got to see it.

The irony is, this is probably the most effort and energy I've put into any project at all this year, and it also took the most time. And I got an 80. And on the projects I do the night/morning before and don't try on, I always get like 97s.

Clearly, the message here is don't be creative or put forth effort. So I suppose that's what I'll do. I don't know what got into me for this project that made me actually care enough to try. weird.



And also, just to spite them I guess, you can obtain copies of the edited and unedited versions of our project by reading this. This is perfect for those of you in my class (or otherwise) who never got to see it, or for any of you who want to see it again. Plus it supports our group and makes us feel like all that effort wasn't totally wasted.
