CPR-Cultural Participation Research
CPR is completed by all students in German I and German II at PHS. Students enrolled in German III may opt to do the project. This is 10% of the semester grade. Students must complete two projects each year and they must be from different categories.
The purpose of CPR is to have students connect to the culture of the German speaking countries. This project is completed OUTSIDE of class and should take 3-5 hours to complete. Students have a wide variety of options (see packet below) or can design their own project. This project is assigned well in advance and therefore I WILL NOT accept late projects. Students may turn the project in early. 1st Semester the project is due Monday, October 29, 2012! 2nd Semester, the project is due Monday, April 15, 2013!
The grade is based upon the write-up. This means that it must be detailed. It is like a lab write-up for science. DETAILS, DETAILS, DETAILS are very important. Students must answer the following questions:
1. What did I do?-Where did you go, what did you do, how long did it take you to complete the sections of the activity (i.e. finding a recipe, researching how it is related to German language and culture, shopping for the items, preparing the meal/food item, cleaning up, interviewing those who ate the project, typing the write-up to turn in, etc.)
2. How does this connect to the culture of German speaking countries? Sometimes this is just one to three sentences, other times it needs a more detailed answer.
3. What did I learn from this project?-This is a self reflection and should be at the minimum a short paragraph. If a student writes a research paper, they should just tell what were the most interesting/surprising things that they learned.
Plagiarism
Any Time a student researches, they will be held to the school standard of documenting their sources accurately. If they research and fail to turn in a Bibliography, students will receive a grade of 0! Also, if a student writes a report, and plagiarizes the information, they will receive a 0!
