Blended Learning Format
Blended learning is student-centered in its approach, allowing students and the school to use time and resources more
flexibly than in traditional school environments. Blended learning allows for more flexibility in regard to differentiated
learning and is a self-guided educational experience where the instructor’s role is that of a mentor rather than
instructor. The course content is housed in the learning management system, Brainhoney. The student can move at
their own pace, much like an online course, but must meet the instructor’s proposed deadlines. These courses can be
scheduled any period that the student has available.

Exhibition: Project presentation during Government B. Projects must have visual aid support.
Topic: Choose a problem you would like to see solved, as explained in Project Citizen. Your project could analyze a
problem at the school, city, county, state or national level. Choose something that you feel strongly about. When you

You must observe all district and school rules in the presentation of this topic.
Length: Your project should be visual in nature, but will be presented verbally to the class. Your presentation must be
a maximum of 4 minutes, with 3 minutes of follow up questions. Total presentation time cannot exceed 7
minutes. Your presentation both visual and verbal must be well done. The presentation should have an introduction,
body, conclusion, transition and use vivid, appropriate and interesting language. Do not use vulgar or slang forms of
language.
Formatting: Your project may be in any visual form you would like it to be EXCEPT for a poster. No posters will be
accepted as a project. However, nicely done complex display boards are allowed. Handouts may be used in addition to
another form of visual support for the project, but will not be accepted as the only visual form of the project. If you have
an idea not listed here, please check with your teacher before working on it. These are some ideas and we are open to
other formats, as long as they are appropriate for school, but they must be approved by your teacher first. This is a
formal presentation. It should be professional, clear, well done, argued and articulated.

not limited to these formats:
Power Point, Keynote or Prezi: add interviews and other noteworthy research information to demonstrate your
learning.
Art Work: Should be a visual demonstration of the sections of the rubric and what you learned in an artist statement.
Fabric Art: quilts, fabric hanging art include an artist statement that demonstrates learning based on the rubric.
Building: Models of the city, building a particular piece that shows changes that should be made or two models that are
the before and after of the implementation of your project. There should be a statement demonstrating what you
learned according to the rubric.
Music: original music either played or sang, specifically demonstrating what you learned according the rubric. Student
must a recorded version, as well. An artist statement demonstrating what you learned based on the rubric should be
included.
Other: if you can imagine something else, please make a proposal for approval to your Government teacher.
Plagiarism: Do not plagiarize. If you are not sure what that means, please see your teacher. There is extensive
information on this subject, including what plagiarism means. If you are caught plagiarizing, it will result in a no pass
on the senior project and can result in additional measures. Academic honesty and ethics are serious issues and will
be dealt with a similar manner.
Ideas if you are struggling:
 Complete your Project Citizen Handbook
 Seek ideas from your teacher

ADVANCED OPPORTUNITIES – SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
For any questions or to register for these programs please go to following website. The counseling office
would be happy to help as well.
http://www.sde.idaho.gov/site/advancedOpp/
All of the below programs require a student profile be created at the above website and funds
be directly requested for each course, which must be approved by the counseling office.
8 IN 6 PROGRAM
To help Idaho students to progress through the state’s high school graduation requirements at an
accelerated rate (46 credits). The program is open to all students in grades 7 through 12.
Students who take courses during the summer or overload courses during the school year (meaning
students must be attending all Rigby High School courses for 5 periods in a day each trimester) can be
scholar-shipped for the course if they have signed up for the 8 in 6 program in the counseling office.
The State Department of Education interprets the legislation that created this scholarship program as
requiring students who take Seminary during the school day to be taking an additional two courses at
their own expense to meet the 8 in 6 qualifications.
FAST FORWARD PROGRAM
Every high school junior will have access to a maximum of $195 a year (3 dual credits) and each high
school senior will have access to a maximum of $390 (6 dual credits). These funds are to be utilized
after all other grants, scholarships, and funds are exhausted, except county funds for out of district
students taking dual credit courses. This money can be used for Dual Credit courses, AP or college
credit bearing exams and PTE certification tests.
DUAL CREDIT FOR EARLY COMPLETERS PROGRAM
The program is open to any student who has completed all the state’s high school graduation
requirements, excluding senior math, the senior project (which at Rigby High School is tied to U.S.
Government) and any other course that the state board of education requires to be completed during
the final year of high school. Students can be given scholarship for up to twelve (12) college credits per
trimester. Students are required to remain enrolled at the high school to be a part of this program. This
program also covers college credit-bearing advanced placement examinations.
MASTERY AGREEMENT PROGRAM
The Mastery Agreement Program (MAP) enables districts to utilize mastery exams that allow students
to progress more quickly through high school and earn a scholarship for postsecondary education.
Students who have completed all district and state graduation requirements within 11 full school years
or less are eligible to receive a scholarship redeemable at all Idaho public institutions.
Students must have attended an Idaho public school four full school years immediately prior to
graduation. The program is currently open to students who are enrolled in participating districts.
