 This should be a creative page describing you physically.  The page should 
include your full name, date of birth, place of birth, parents or guardians. 
You should also include you favorites; color, book, movie, music, food, place, 
anything else that is important to you. Creatively organize your information 
on a rough copy and then on the computer.  Turn in for review once 
completed. 

 VISUAL FACTS:

  This page will include real pictures and or art of yourself and friends and 
family. These should show the true you.  Place them in chronological order 
with descriptions and why they are important.  You should have at least 4 - 5 
pictures, enough to show the whole person (think:  happy, sad, small, 
graduating, etc.).  Turn in for review once completed. 

FOCAL STORIES: 

  One page about you, written or told to you by two different people.  One 
may be a friend, the other a relative or an adult that has known you for 
four or more years (exceptions can can be made, discuss alternatives 
with your teacher or click girl).  This may be submitted in it's original form. 
Turn in for review once completed. You may want to begin with this 
assignment do to the fact that you are not personally in control of these 
pages.  Remind those you ask that this assignment is due soon. 
 
CHRONOLOGY: 

  Part One - Written self history.  Three to five pages of your life as you 
remember it.  Include stories, examples, explanations, anything that 
describes you and your life. You need to get feed back from two people 
who have been around you for five years (refer to focal stories for 
exceptions).  Two interviews should appear in your rough draft file.  Ask 
these people pertinent information regarding your growth and style. 
Include this information in your write up.  Once completed, turn in for 
review. 

  Part Two - Drawn Chronology.  A time line, full of color and animation, 
that shows your life to date.  Begin with when you were born and hit on 
every major event until today.  May be completed on the computer or 
manually.  Turn in for review once completed. 

Cumulating Project: 

FINAL PROJECT:

  Your final project should include all rough drafts (in a separate file), a cover, a table 
of content, all typed pages, minor creativity, organization and representation of each 
assignment.  These pages should have been checked for punctuation, spelling,

the 4 - 1 basis.  Any not passing will be redone.
