Please follow the timeline to know what your child needs to complete in order to be successful during Independent Study.

Please remember roller coasters are fun!

What are your child's responsiblities during Independent Study and expectations?

VISUAL AIDS PROPOSAL DUE MARCH 18TH, 2008

PRODUCT PROPOSALS ARE DUE THE WEEK OF MARCH 18TH-20th. Please remember that PRODUCTS are done totally at home, and you can refer to the website under Step 5, and the CD previously sent home for clarification.

PRESENTATION PROPOSALS DUE THE WEEK OF APRIL 1st-3rd. Your child may chose to dress up or use a creative format for their presentation.

This guide may help you and your child to dig deeper in asking/answering questions on their topic.

This is a guide to help your child during presentations. Most children write a little script on their own, which ties in their creative format (what they are....doctor, scientist, etc.) Some children use index card to guide them in discussing their visual aids too. I don't want kids to be holding up papers in front of their face---not engaging the audience. Usually, they can just refer to their tri-fold board and visuals and share. This is not a mandatory form. Most kids like to come up with thier own way of sharing.
