That is a great project. Looks like he really did a nice job. Hope he gets the 100. My kids had an english teacher that put up volcabulary words for the kids to find in news articles and they could earn extra credit. The only thing was, if someone was getting high scores in regular classroom papers etc. they were docked if they didn't do 'extra credit'. Why didn't he just say the words were required? I am sure only getting the 100 was for incentive, but I don't think it is ever fair to only give 1 project the 100 and the rest 50. I think they should be judged or graded on their own merit.
