Winn Dixie Project

This is the letter from Mrs. Rase about Winn Dixie projects...in case you didn't see it, or need to refer to it later! :)

November 5, 2012

Dear Parents,

            We will be reading the book Because of Winn-Dixie for the next couple of weeks.  Instead of giving a unit written test, we are going to let students complete a project!  This will count as a test grade.  Since all of us have read the same book, it would be nice to have a variety of projects to represent it.  I am including a list of ideas to choose from or you can come up with your own.  I will count this for a READING GRADE (counted as a test score) and will be worth 100 points.  This grade will be based upon the following:

Neatness (20)

Creativity (20)

Effort (20)

Knowledge of the Book (10)

Presentation (20)-Speaking clearly (5), eye contact (5), appropriate volume (5), correct grammar (5)

Turned in on time (10)

Students may have some class time in the afternoon to work on their projects (next week), but more time will need to be spent on it at home.  This project will be due on Monday, November 19.  Please let me know if you have further questions.

Thanks!

Mrs. Rase, Mrs. Garffie, and Mrs. Ingram

Look on the back for some ideas or create your own!
