SENIORS: It's important that you have a "road map" to help you organize your work. Click on this link for the questions you should be able to answer about your children's book. Share with me through Google Docs under the title Outline. Next, start thinking about what is going to be on each page; what words are going to be with what illustrations? Will you be able to draw your illustrations or use images printed from the internet? If you're like me and can't draw to save your life, then google "clip art." Make sure that any images you use do not have a copyright (that means the image belongs to someone and you would be breaking a law if you used that image). If you have any question as to whether an image has a copyright, don't print it until you show it to me. Create a rough draft of your book, using printer paper; divide the paper into 8 segments (each segment represents a page); on each segment, draw or paste the image and add the words. This is a ROUGH DRAFT that will be due this Friday, April 10.
SOPHOMORES: Continue preparing for your debate. At this point, you should be working on your index cards. Click on this link for an example. The debates will begin this Wednesday, April 8. Everyone needs to be ready to go; I will ask for volunteers, but if I don't get any, then I will randomly call names. If you tell that you are not ready, then you will lose one letter grade and you will still have to debate at a later time. I will collect all of the written work you did for the debate after your debate is finished (the written work is the evidence sheets, the debate outline, and the index cards). There will be 2 grades for this unit; one grade will be for the written work and one grade will be for the debate itself.
