All About Me Project
This is a fun project that will let the children get to know each other better!  Each student is responsible for making a collection of items that represents him or her.  We will discuss ideas in class, and we will also complete some activities that will aid in making the project at home.  Then, students will show-off their creative collection and tell the class about it starting on
September 8, 2004.

Each student is expected to have a collection of personally important items and a written paper to accompany it. Students may use their ALL ABOUT ME posters as the written portion of this project.
Here are the things I would like to be included in the project:

Where you were born?
Who are your parents/guardians?
What do your parents do?
Where do you live?
Do you participate in any groups within your community?
Do you have brothers/sisters?  What are they like?
Do you have pets?  What are they like?
What are some of your favorite things?
What makes you a special individual?

There are several creative ways to approach this project and in creating the ALL ABOUT ME posters. Some students use pictures or magazine clippings. Here's a link that offers suggestions:

Every student who completes the project will receive a passing grade.  Please aid your child with the project, but do not do it for them!!!  I'm looking for 7-year-old work.  I suggest practicing reporting about the collection to some family members before the big day.  Here's some things I will be looking for during their presentations:
 

  • Student looks at the audience (eye contact) 
  • Student speaks loudly/clearly 
  • The written paper has capital letters, correct punctuation, and sentences that make sense. 
  • Student has a special prop 
  • Student has included all of the expected items of information 
  • GRAND TOTAL SCORE:  _______/100


Projects are DUE September 8, 2004!
