Autobiography Project

Autobiography Assignment: Due Friday

Students are required to come up with a project that is a “quick” autobiography of their lives. This is a great way for students to share things about themselves that others may not know.

Students may create posters, cubes, PowerPoints or use Glogster EDU to share their information.
If you are using Glogster your usernames and passwords will be ready Tuesday.

Glogster EDU is a tool to create online multimedia “posters” that can incorporate all types of elements into a visual space: links, images, text, videos, music, and more. Students will have multiple ways to express themselves and to learn from each other, making it easy to differentiate and engage each student. The ad-free EDU community offered by Glogster is designed to alleviate the problems of inappropriate content and contact with “outsiders” not welcome in my class’s electronic community.

Autobiography Project Requirements:

1. All sides or spaces consist of information about your life.
2. Objects that represent you/your life are put inside of biocube or brought to class. Student must have at least two objects. See me about pictures for powerpoints and Glogster.
3. Makes excellent use of font, color, graphics/pictures, effects, etc. to enhance project.
4. Product shows a large amount of original thought. Ideas are creative and inventive.

Open Gym

Unfortunately, I have to cancel open gym again. I woke up this morning sick and will not be able to attend. Next week, I have a teacher workshop so I will not be able to have it then either. I think at this point that I need to cancel open gym for the summer and start back up during the school year. I am sorry for the inconvenience! Ladies continue to practice at home.
