Independent Project Information
and Project Guideline Index

YOU WILL NEED TO USE "LINKS" ON THIS WEB SITE
If your mouse cursor changes to a little gloved hand with a finger pointing up, it is pointing to a link.  Just click your left mouse button and it will take you to a new file (page, picture, sound file, video clip, etc.).  Try it on this LINK.

The first thing you should read is the General Guidelines for Independent Projects where you will find an explanation of general requirements, restrictions, bonus points, penalty points, etc.

If you want a quick summary of the objectives, target grade & bonus points for all projects, browse through the Independent Project List.

For more detailed information about a specific project, click on one of the titles below to bring up the specific project sheet.

One extra independent project may be completed for "extra credit".  The extra credit will be equal to the "bonus points" available for the project.  Projects that have no bonus points available will not be considered for extra credit.

Printing Specific Project Sheets - In most cases, you should print only page 1 of the document.  If the only thing after the teacher signature line & date is the "Back to Index" link, you will waste a sheet of paper to print those three words.
