The Famous Person Project

Welcome Back!

I won't release your attendance form for this week until Tuesday, but if you want to prove you were here today, you can complete a READING PROGRESS UPDATE.

This week we begin your second, graded, distance learning, project. It's about a famous person of your choice. You can find the project steps doc in Google Classroom and you should watch the video version of the directions HERE.

On Tuesday, I'll make your ATTENDANCE FORM live for this week, but you will want to make some progress on your project first. That way you'll be able to tell me how great you are doing, and also ask me questions about the project when you fill out the form.

For this project you are doing an analysis of the way a famous person of your choice is presented in various media.

A few important due dates: (These are also all in Google Classroom.)

1. Attendance form for this week is due by 12:30 PM on Friday May 15th. 
2. The Quizizz for this project is also due Friday May 15th by 3:00 PM. 
3. The Famous Person Media Organizer is due by Monday May 18th at 4:00 PM. (If you do it after that, I probably won't grade it. It's a progress grade. You have a week. Don't procrastinate.)
4. Your analysis: essay or screencast, is due Friday May 22nd at 4:00 PM
5. Office hours with Mrs. R. are Tuesday and Thursday from 3-4 PM. Stop by. Link in Google Classroom. 

Reminders: 

• Turn in your Suspenseful Moments Essay in Google Classroom if you didn't last week. Yes, you have to actually click turn in on your document and then again in Google Classroom. I won't grade it if it isn't turned in because I'll think you're not done yet. 
• Keep reading. Your independent reading requirement has not gone away. 
• Hang on to any books you borrowed from our classroom. I promise I will let you know how you can bring them back later. 
• Email or message me on Remind if you have questions or want to meet.
