Objective:  I can use technology, including the Internet, to produce, publish, and update individual writing products in response to ongoing feedback in order to create a final “About Me” project that incorporates both required components as well as personally selected items (W11-12.6).
Agenda:
  • Entry Task:  Pick up a file folder and your selected color of paper as well as any other art supplies you usually like to use as well as About Me Portfolio directions.  You will also need your Chromebook for later in the class.
  • Fold your construction paper in ½ horizontally (hot dog) and place your open file folder inside of it
    • Gently close the file folder, making sure to crease the fold on the construction paper, so it lines up along the outer edges of your folder
    • Staple your construction paper as close to the edge as possible on both sides
  • This is where your finalized pieces will be included.  To begin, put your Biographical Interview in the inside, right pocket.  
  • Now, log in to Google Classroom and open your returned personal narrative.  Before printing, make any edits suggested. Print your personal narrative and put it in the inside, right pocket of your folder, behind the Biography Interview.
  • Type your “Where I’m From” poem and turn in to Google Classroom for feedback--do not print yet, but remember you can submit it to iamfromproject@gmail.com if you are particularly proud of it!  
  • Exit Task:  If you have extra time, you may begin to decorate your folder--it should reflect you and your style, so add any details you like!  There will be more required components as we continue through the unit.
