Our Deeds are our Monuments

This week we have been discussing our Monument Projects, which strive to answer the question: "How am I inspired?"
In order to answer this question, students are challenged to learn more about an inspiring person who shares their passions. Students are choosing all variety of inspiring individuals, from Leonardo Da Vinci to Selena.
Students will be researching, outlining, and writing essays about their inspiring person and then creating a mini-monument to honor his or her accomplishments.

 
Parent signatures are expected on these cover sheets by Monday/Tuesday next week (Oct. 21/22) and students have been encouraged to talk to their parents about the project.
Due dates are as follows:
Outline due Oct. 28-29
Rough Draft due Oct. 30
Final Draft due Nov. 6
Mini-Monument due Nov. 6
