When will the project be assigned?
Mr. Rubin will assign the project after we have learned about longhouses in class.

Can I start the project before it is assigned?
NO

When is the project due?
When it's assigned, you will be given a due date. Projects handed in after the due date will have points taken off.

What do I need to do for the project? What materials do I need? Can my parents help me?
Mr. Rubin will discuss this in class
You will be given several papers that answer many of the questions students usually have about the project. We will also discuss what the longhouse must have and how many points each thing is worth. This information is also listed below.

The project will count like a test grade. If you get an "A" on the project, it's like getting an "A" on a test. You will be given a sheet telling you what your longhouse must have and how many points each thing is worth. If you put everything required in your longhouse, it should be an easy "A" !
