ELA B30: Feb 13 Work period 1 of 3 on Identity project…
- Students were given a handout (identity-assignment-b30.doc ) to explain the details of their first major assignment. I created options for those who are not as comfortable with a multi-media project, which was also influenced by the fact that we are limited in the amount of computers available to the students. I also shared with them several different ways they could prepare their project, such as creating a video of them explaining them, making a stop animation project like the art classes have been doing, or making a collage with 3-dimensional aspects to add their personality to it.
- The class went in their own directions, some stayed in the classroom while others worked in the library or main computer lab, but the majority of them got a good start on things. We collaborated and agreed on a due date of February 27, exactly two weeks away. They will only have the three work periods of class time this week, then they have the week off next week, so I encouraged them to not hold off on completing things until the last minute.
