All About Me PROJECTS

Hi everyone,

It is my turn to monitor the blog this week but I was sick at the weekend/ yesterday and with the power outage today at school- I have only just got on here!  I am glad to see people have been accessing the blog and posting- make sure you look at the blog at least ONCE A WEEK and that you post or add comments during the week too.  It is important to respond and comment positively to other's posts, so that they get some feedback and we are all included.

As we discussed last Friday, we are asking that you all work on an 'All About Me' project over the next 2 weeks- this is our NOVEMBER focus.  Your project can take any shape or form that you like as long as the final creation can be added to the blog in some way (as a video, slideshow, picture(s), or a link).

Here are some really creative ideas I have found that other students/ teachers have done- these may help inspire you!

Autobiographical Maps- your life in a map form- a 3D island (diorama model), a map of your 'country' (e.g: Maceland), a village created on Minecraft?

Biography Bottles- these were done about famous people- but you could do a model of any kind about yourself! (using recycled materials, modelling clay/ plasticine, or Lego!)

Self-portraits PLUS- these portraits include words, phrases, and information about the person and use mixed-media (when the artist combines paint, printing, drawing, pastel, ink...)

These are a few ideas and you all had many more last week- making a movie trailer about yourself, drawing a cartoon strip (Bistrips or other), making a news report, making a book (by hand or using Book Creator), using Explain Everything on the iPads to explain all about you!
If you need materials or equipment make a list for Friday when we will meet again as a group.  If you are still stuck for ideas we can help you get started on Friday!
Now GET CREATIVE!
