Ok – Heritage Fair! It will take place on March 20th in the p.m. Students are not permitted to use Ipads, laptops, etc. in their presentation – we just do not have enough electrical outlets to allow this. Presentation consists of two parts – a written report of 2 – 4 pages lon, in French, as well as a display board. We will work on reports in class; students will also be doing more work @ home. Display boards will be prepared at home; they are available at Staples or any other stationary store. It may be a good idea to get one soon, it seems that the longer one waits to buy one the harder it becomes.
We will be working in class for the next 10 days or so on drafts, revising, editing of reports. Due to the number of students involved with Heritage Fair @ school, no printing can be done for students at school. Students should bring their materials each day this week & next. On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of this week, students are welcome to “BYOD” – ‘bring your own device’ to school to work on their project. That means that if they’ve been using an Ipad, other tablet, etc. to work with they can use it @ school via the guest access to Internet. If students have finished their rough draft they should bring it to school and we will start to edit/revise immediately.
The display board should not be a total rehash of the report. This is the place for interesting pictures, graphs or charts, other details that didn’t quite make the report. It can be as creative as you would like. Should time permit, students could work on their displays in class before Heritage Fair.
I think that is all for now. If I think of anything else I will add it. If you have questions, please let me know & I’ll see if I can find the answer.
