ACW


Workshop

• Pick up the rubric on the circle table for the PHOTO MEMOIR, then work on it.  The final draft and completed rubric are due when you walk in Monday.  These will be traded with one other person to read.
• Review the requirements for the GRAPHIC MEMOIR on page 44, then work on it.  Raid the black cabinet for supplies--ribbon, yarn, colors, glue....  Get creative, people!  :-)  You six-panel (minimum) GRAPHIC MEMOIR is due Monday, when you walk in the door.  Note:  If you want to do your memoir on an iBook instead of hand-draw it, that's fine--you can use whatever medium you want, as long as there are illustrations and text.
• Last twenty minutes:  

1. Read about a project called "Six Billion Others"
2. http://www.6milliardsdautres.org/
3. Clicking on "The Project" will give you a little background about the project.
4. Clicking on "Discover:  5000 testimonies of 6 billion Others" will take you to the page where you can listen to stories.
5. Is there one story that leaves an impression on you, more than the others?  Write a five-sentence response to one of the stories, and save it as your last name in the ACW class folder titled "Reaction".

• Pick up the copies of your Partner Dialogue stories that people edited.  They are on the back circle table.
