Home Learning Projects

 

Throught the school year, I assign home-learning projects.
The projects usually relate to a theme or topic we are doing in
the class. They are enrichment opportunities. All students do
not have equal access to materials and parental support on
projects can vary. Therefore, I believe that assigning projects
to be done at home should not be used as a means to deliver
the curriculum or to evaluate student's performance in specific
subject areas other than homework in the Learning Skills
portion of the Ontario report card.

November Home Learning Project

Recently we wrote and decorated Halloween rhebus stories in class. A rhebus story is a story in which specific words are substituted with pictures. For example:

For your November project you must write your own rhebus story using some or all of the pictures I have sent home. You should try to use each picture at least 3 times in your story. Your story must be written in booklet form with an attractive title page. The title must be written entirely in capitals and you must include the name of the author. On the inside front cover you must have a dedication. On the inside back cover you must include an ALL ABOUT THE AUTHOR section which must have a photo of the author (YOU) and brief biography. On the first page of the story you must include a legend which shows the pictures and the words they substitute in your story. You do not need to include additional pictures or illustrations in your story. However, you may wish to include borders on the pages and cover.

Next week I will post my own rebus story outside the classroom as an example.

Your project is due on Thursday November 30, 2000.

Mr. Moore

P.S. You are encouraged to do a second rhebus story using your own pictures (drawn or cut and pasted from the computer) which you can bring to read to the class and your kindergarten reading buddy!
