Picture board assignment

Bulletin Board Assignment-and you thought you would only have to bring a picture in for an A?

Surprise! :)

Due Friday, September 10th

Follow these simple steps for an “A” on one of your first literacy assignments!
1. Print out or send me a picture of one of your memorable experiences from this summer.
2. Write a 1-2 paragraph explanation of what the picture is showing and why this was an important or memorable event or experience to you. (If you do not bring in or send me a picture by Thursday, September 9th, the writing requirement increases to a 2 page summary of a memorable event from this summer-bring in those pictures! NO EXCEPTIONS, unless I have a written note from a parent explaining why bringing or sending in a picture is not possible.)
3. Based on our classroom discussion, what challenges do you think will be the most difficult or demanding this year? Please be specific and write at least 1-2 DETAILED paragraphs in response to this question.
4. Type or NEATLY write your two responses and attach your picture to it. You may decorate this in any way that you want. Remember, this will be graded, AND it will be posted in the hallway for all to see! You want to show the best of yourself to your classmates and the school.
