May 2 Social Studies/Lang. Arts Writing Assignment
May 9 at 8:00 AM Battle of the Books deadline. All paper work is due.
Social Studies/Language Arts Writing Assignment Due – Friday, May 2 Log on to kennesaw.edu/paralleljourneys to complete your Identification Card on the person you have been assigned. On Exhibits click on Parallel Journey, then click on Individuals Featured in the Exhibit, and next find the person you have been assigned to report on in ABC order. Write this report as if you are the person you have researched. Tell about your life using the information you have collected. Since this will be historical fiction, you can use the facts you know are true and weave a story into the facts. The report will be based on facts but it doesn’t have to be completely true as some parts will include your imagination of what it was like and what happened. If possible, type the final copy on the computer making 2 copies. One copy will be glued into your composition book and the other copy will be displayed outside the classroom. Please include a picture of your person on both copies. If necessary, I can make copies for you.
