This week in class we started writing personal reflections on our chosen communities. The students then helped me come up with some activities and criteria for how to share the message of their community with the class. Part of the planning stage of this project is to write a rationale for why a specific project was chosen (for example a poster, powerpoint, podcast, brochure, story etc.).

I would like each of you to share what your project will be and include your reason for choosing it. While writing, I would like you to consider the following questions.
- Is your message clear?
- Can you express your feelings about the meaning of your community?
- Will your audience (the class) understand?
- Are you able to include enough description and detail in your chosen project?

Start by explaining what your project is and then write a paragraph about why you think it will be the best way to share your message. Please feel free to ask any questions you have at this time.

These are due Monday and you can respond by leaving and comment on this post. This is a writing assignment so grammar, spelling and clarity are all important.


We will be starting a new unit in January and require some supplies.  Would you be able to help us out?

Each student will need a fashion doll (Barbie etc.)  This can be an old doll or from the Dollar Store etc. It can be a girl or boy doll.  I hate to say it, but clothing not required!

We will also need the following:

-old, white pillow cases or bed sheets (will not be returned)

-old nylons/panty hose (will not be returned)

-several boxes of sugar cubes

-several blocks of  floral foam (the green spongey cubes that florists use)

We will gladly accept any donations of these items!  

A big THANK YOU in advance,
Mme Ott
