Projects (Grades 3–12)

• There are four types of assignments for students in grades 3-12:

• Lessons
• Projects
• Quizzes
• Tests

• Projects are typically completed outside of Ignitia.

• Use Project Forecasts to plan for projects.

• Assignment weighting depends on if a unit contains a project, a test, or both.

• Click here for a detailed breakdown.

• Include a heading for all projects. More information on the heading is in the Written Reports section, below.

• Submit all projects as an attachment. Watch this video to learn how to submit a project.

• Ask your parent/guardian for help if you do not understand a project.

• Ask a teacher for help if you ever do not understand a project. Your teachers are always happy to help.

There are several types of projects you will encounter in your classes. One type of project is a written report. There are a few specific requirements for reports:

• Start with a proper heading. Please type the following heading at the top of the document for all projects. The heading is worth five points. It should include the following information:
  • Right aligned, in header: your last name with page #
  • Left aligned:

• your full name
• your teacher’s name
• the subject
• the date in MLA format

• Centered: the title

• Include your attachment. If a project asks you to include a drawing, video file, or screenshot, double-check your attachment to make sure it is included before it is submitted.
• Include your sources. For research projects and reports, list the sources you used at the bottom of your document. For many projects, there is a list of sources you can use included in the project directions. When you cite web pages, please share the exact URL rather than a general website name.
• If you are in grades 6-12, please use MLA formatting.

• Another type of project you will encounter is the science experiment.

• There will be a copy of the lab report in Ignitia that students can download for use. This lab report form can be either printed or used digitally.

• Note: We encourage you to place the printed copies of your completed lab reports in a binder or notebook. That way you can look back on these projects if you have questions during quizzes and tests.

• Rubrics can differ substantially from project to project.

• There will be a rubric in the description of each project. If you do not see one, please contact your teacher.

• Second attempts: Second attempts for projects are granted at the teacher’s discretion.
  • Students wishing to retry their project can submit a request to their teacher.
• Technical errors: If a second attempt is requested due to a technical error:
  • the error must be confirmed by a parent or evidenced by documentation that Enlightium deems sufficient.
  • efforts to resolve the issues with Ignitia technical support must be evident.
  • students who have had previous technical issues should take additional precautions based on the recommendations provided in the student orientation course or provided by Enlightium staff or faculty.
