CIGP: Data Bank for Tabula Rasa

Instructions:

1. Join the "CIGP Data Bank" folder on Dropbox. (If you don't have a Dropbox account, sign up here.) To do this, send me an e-mail where you tell me the e-mail address you use for your Dropbox account.

2. Every Friday before midnight, add one item to the folder of your own assigned country and one item to someone else's folder, always in the right sub-folder. Each item should also come with a Word document where you describe its relevance to whatever country's folder it's in. The names of each file should include your name and the title of the item. For example, if I were to add a picture of the Mona Lisa to a folder about France, I'd name the image "Francisco_Mona Lisa.jpg" and the Word file "Francisco_Mona Lisa.docx." If you don't use the right name for your files, I won't know who added them, and you will have a zero.

3. This activity will count as Homework & Participation and it will be graded as follows:

	Percentage
Item for your own assigned country.	25%
Description of the relevance of the item for your own assigned country.	25%
Item for someone else’s assigned country.	25%
Description of the relevance of the item you added for someone else’s assigned country.	25%
TOTAL	100%

This activity is meant to help you prepare for the Tabula Rasa activity we will have on April 29, May 1, and May 2. Everyone should have some idea of what all the other countries are up to.

When you have chosen a topic for your Final Project, let me know so I can post about it here and your classmates will know where to focus when picking items for your country. Happy sharing!
