Homework Term 2 Week 6

Ist Draft of Camp Recount by 30th May. This needs to be of refil

Thanks to all those who handed in the 1st draft of their Camp Recount. I have had a brief look at some of them and can see some real effort at using language in an exciting way. Good stuff.

Why do people choose to live in NZ?

You need to select a question from your ALJ book and present your findings. The quality needs to be so that if I put it on the wall people will say that your work is a fine example of good research/presentation. The one I showed you in class this week was good.

By Tuesday 5th June

Making a Stand

For Virtues this week we looked at the value of Integrity.

Remember the Action Learning Model we have been learning about (it's on the classroom wall): Deciding - Finding - Using - Recording - Presenting - Evaluating

What I'd like you to do is chose an individual/group who has STOOD UP for what they believe in e.g. Rosa Parks, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Martin Luther, Kate Sheppard. Then I want you to put together a project about that person. Remember to answer these questions regarding your person/ group: who, what, when, where, why, how? Your work needs to be an __**in-depth**__ study of your chosen person/group.

What size should it be? No larger than A2 (that's 2 sheets of A3 in terms of size). It could be done on A3. Some of you might think that A4 is right for you. Some of you know that doing it on A4 isn't right for you - try to push yourself. We can use this work for display at your Odyssey at the end of the year.

Word Count: I would say at least 350 words. Some of you might do much more. REMEMBER: you must not copy and paste work from the internet. This is not your work and it does not belong to you. Do not hand in anything to me that is not your work.

You need to have learned from the previous research project you did about Story. Remember the quality of the one I showed you

Thursday 21st June (because it will take quite a while to get this looking good enough)

Remember that what we are trying to achieve is developing your time management skills and the ability to motivate yourself to get the task done to the best of your ability. It won't be long before you will be leaving Intermediate and you'll be in College. These skills are vital for success.
