Reading and Writing
Students are currently
reading biographies of their choice in class for a book report presentation
which will be due February 20th. This reading assignment will
integrate reading, writing and social studies. The final project is due
February 20th. The project has three parts, each worth 100 points
for a total of 400 points. Rough drafts of timeline and notes in reading
journal are 100 points, the final timeline is 100 points, the comparison and
contrast essay of student and biographical character is 100 points, and the
biography the student writes about another student is 100 points.
Students will be creating event/timelines
for their biography choices in class over the next couple of weeks as they
finish reading their books. This will be a mixed media art project as well! I’m
very excited to see the results. I will hang them in the hallway when we
finish. And just for fun, we will have a literary contest. The most creative
and well-written biography the students write about one another will receive a
gift certificate. Students are voting on gift certificate ideas!
