  5. Things To Include: • Use a Cover/Title pageor that includes a title, your name, period, and the date. • No more than two entriesper page • Pictures may be hand drawn or downloaded from the internet. Don’t use clip art. These pictures are generic and not appropriate for your book. • An important reminder is that plagiarism is not allowed! “Cut and paste” techniques from the web are not welcome Plagiarism will result in a score of 0%! • Some time will be given in class to research material, and write poems but expect to use time at home for assembly of the final product. • Resources for your book include books, encyclopedias, magazines and the internet. Some Quality websites are listed • All poems must be typed in a readable fontno larger than 18 points. The capital letter may be in a large, “fun” font to highlight the word. • Conventions, creativity, and neatness are factors in grading! • Remember to be WWI specific. “N” shouldn’t be for nuclear weapons – they weren’t invented yet.

  6. Signed Slip • Signed Slip Due: this Friday day (4/5/11) • Slip is worth 10 points of project… • Do not cut the slip off! PROJECT DUE DATE: TUESDAY. APRIL 30th

  7. KEYS TO SUCCESS • Warm Ups – most days you will be able to work on your A-Z Book during Warm-Ups • I will provide you with in class time to get a jump start • You will be able to work on your A-Z Books during AIMS Week (extra time when you finish and in my class) • Use your “First Draft Journal” and A-Z Chart to plan • If you average one poem a day in class and one at home (2 a day) you will finish in plenty of time!
