as far as I know, those are still supposed to be included in the magen 
grade

No, you're not confused about performance tasks vs. projects. However, I don't 
think they're supposed to be included in the magen marks either, according to 
the following reasoning:
 
1) The whole system of giving magen marks was conceived as a whole, with 
literature showing up in one part and not in the other etc. To me, throwing out 
everything but leaving the Module A magen mark to stand as is seems a little 
ridiculous.
 
2) If I remember correctly, Judy Steiner didn't differentiate between Module A 
and the other modules regarding the 80-20 breakdown. If I'm wrong, Judy, please 
correct me!
 
3) Because of the Irgun Hamorim strike last year, the Ministry said that 
projects didn't have to be done in 10th, which is this year's 11th. That means 
that students who are doing Modules A, B and C this year would have to do a 
project this year. Are they supposed to have done a performance task on top of 
all that? I didn't do it with mine. If that is the case with students who are 
doing all three modules, how can you change it for students doing only Module 
A? Again, correct me if my reasoning here is wrong.
 
By the way, isn't it a bit pathetic that two and a half weeks before the 
Bagrut, we're still trying to clarify all this? (No offense meant to anyone 
specific on this list or off it...)
 
All the best,
Rivka
