The Outsiders

Today students were given their major project for the novel. Beginning on Wednesday, they will get class time (1 week) to complete their work in class. They are not permitted to do this work at home, HOWEVER, they are expected to do their PLANNING at home. For example, one of the selections of choice is the creation of a "graffiti" collage. They can select the 20 words at home and they can plan how they will display these on the bristol board. Therefore when they come to class, they know EXACTLY what they are going to put on their sheet.

They are encouraged to bring in their own supplies for coloring and stencilling. I have some materials, but I cannot supply 10 students with a particular color (at the same moment). It might mean they have to wait for one to become available. Sometimes that results in a lose of time.

Encourage your child to be ready for class, and be prepared to work during class time. I cannot allow them to produce this work at home.
