In case your student doesn't the show you the requirements for the project, I am posting them here for your reference:
REQUIREMENTS:
“Scrapbook”
*(Details can be found on your student's hard copy of the requirements)
~ Cover Illustration
~ Dedication Page
~ Table of Contents
~ Genealogical tree page
~ One written mythological story, where your character has a “starring” role.
~ A write up of why this story may have been important to the ancient Greeks
~ Story illustration
~ A list of three to ten references to your character in later forms of literature.
~ A (at least) one-page write up about your thoughts/feelings regarding your character, his/her experiences, and Greek mythology in general. Also include what your experience was like researching and learning more about Greek mythology: what you like about the stories, the characters, etc.
~ Bibliography
~ Back Cover
~ All written work MUST be typed:
· 12 point font
· Times New Roman or Georgia font style
· Double-spaced
· Indented paragraphs
~ Pages in “scrapbook” must be numbered (this will make for a clear Table of Contents) at bottom of page (centered or in right corner).
~ You may “decorate” and get as creative with the “scrapbook” as you like, as long as you use the above structure to do it in.
Oral Story
Use the story you (re)wrote in your “scrapbook” as the base for your oral story. You will be required to tell the story, out loud to the class. You will be graded on clarity, vocal work, presentation skills (including how you use your body and your voice to “color” your words). *(Ms. Pitman will show you an example next week)
*EXTRA MILERS: See Ms. Pitman, individually, to discuss how you will go the Extra Mile on this project.
FINAL DUE DATE: (For both the Scrapbook & Oral Story) Tuesday, February 17
Parents: If you have any questions regarding the project, please email me.
Cheers,
Ms. Pitman
