In the first quarter, we were assigned benchmark projects for every major class and in order to pass they had to be completed with an overall grade above a D or 60%. The benchmark for science was to find a scientist that we thought should have more recognition and receive the SLAward (A made up award that goes to the best presentation of the scientist). For the history benchmark in the first quarter, we had to gather a group of 5-6 classmates and research Ancient Egyptian people that were important to the Pharaoh and the Pharaoh himself and we later had to make a play out of a dinner with King Tut which included the Pharaoh, High Priest, Servant, Farmer, Noblemen, and Soldier.
