  1. What: Research Project for French class! When: Research done in class andduring French class and at home Due: November 4/5 2013 at the beginning of class Le Pierre Tombale et les Masques du mort You must create a tombstone or a death mask (Pierre Timbale) for the famous dead French figure you choose. As a group, you will do your research, find decorative items for the tombstone, design and produce the tombstone. What you need: ►Materials to create the tombstone/death mask (cardboard or poster board…be creative) ►Decorations for the tombstone/death mask that adequately represent the person whom you are researching ►scissors, markers, glue, tape, paper, etc. You must furnish the supplies, but while working in class, you may sign out MY markers, scissors, tape, etc. ►While you will have time to work on this during one class, most of the work for this project will need to be done outside of class.

  2. What is a tombstone or headstone? ● A inscribed or engraved marker for the burial place of a deceased individual What is a death mask? ● A wax or plastic mask made of a person’s face following a person’s death. Death masks may be kept as mementos or were often used as still models for portraits

  5. Grading… In your research you must answer the questions: • Who – were they (did their real name differ from their celebrity name? Were they born into nobility?)? • What - did they do?

Why are they important in history, society, science, math, health, medicine?

  6. Grading… How do you show/tell me that you have understood the essence of this person? • Tombstone or Death Mask – either of these should adequately relate to the life (and/or death) of this person and whatever importance they had in history. The care with which you demonstrate your knowledge is VERY important. Show me! • Bits of info – these are the questions that you have to answer (previous slide) and you need to accurately and adequately post those in an acceptable fashion on the tombstone/death mask • Monologue – You will deliver a written and spoken monologue (to be memorized) about this person’s life. If written in the first person (I) then extra credit will be given if you choose to dress up as this person and present as though you are them.

  7. Grading… • You will be graded on each item of this project. You will receive a project grade as well as separate writing and speaking grades. • This project will count as two IB grades as well. (Writing and Speaking) • You will receive a separate daily participation grade for any class day we work on this project. • All late projects will receive a maximum grade of an 80.For projects turned in more than one school day late the maximum grade will be a 50. • For those students who wish work in a group you will all have to write additional information about your individual (in French) and will have to create both a tombstone and a death mask.
