ITEMS of Pandora S Box Grading Rubric

Pandora’s Box Today’s culture would be different had the world NOT been introduced to perils such as violence, sickness, and hunger. Allowing a sleeping dog to lie comes to mind when you think about how simple life really was before and could have been IF curiosity hadn’t killed the cat!

Your group will receive a real world event/topic. With this real world event/topic, YOU are expected to collaboratively create your very own Pandora’s Box with a total of SIX items along with thoughtful physical representation that symbolizes each of the SIX items. FIVE of the SIX items MUST be things/items that make specific real world event topic worse in the world.

The SIXTH item MUST be ONE thing that would leave a sense of hope, as it relates to the real world event/topic assigned to your group. Like the five items, this one item of hope MUST have a physical representation that symbolizes it. **See the hope event/item as the SAVIOR of your group’s real world event/topic.

PLEASE NOTE: Because creativity is the key, you are NOT to purchase (or ask your parents to purchase) ANYTHING for items! YOUR group is expected to be far MORE resourceful in creating the symbolic representation for each item. You are encouraged to create items OR bring representatives from home. Each person in the group is responsible for at least one item for your group’s Pandora’s Box. Everyone in the group is responsible for creating the actual BOX that will hold the items. A total of THREE ELAR grades will come from this project.
