> Basic structure & topics can remain the same or altered for various grades & individuals. Without any edits, perfect for grades 7-9th. Higher grades, may want to "up" some vocabulary and possibly some of the "chapter" topics.
> End result - book of self-reflections
THIS PROJECT IS A Word Document: EASILY ADJUST THE EXPECTATIONS
TO FIT YOUR NEEDS:
CHAPTER TOPICS, LENGTH, TIME FRAME, CHANGE VOCAB USED, ETC.
> An introspective, meaningful, and personal year-in-review project.
> Students will have a memory book to keep for years afterwards.
> Detailed directions
> Chapter topics are based on student experiences during the school year
> Other expectations include: title page, dedication page, epilogue, cover
Students will appreciate the opportunity to self-reflect & work completely independently on a personal project rather than a generic, class-wide project/assignment.
Suggestions
> Let students write chapters, create titles, cover, etc. in order they want - except table of contents should be last.
> Let students decorate any way section/s in any way they want, write in any colors, etc. Let them own their work!
