Elements of the calendar
Each pair of students will produce a spread for the calendar. They will answer the essential questions of the project by doing the following:
How will we be partnered?
At the end of week 4, our class will brainstorm the possible topics for our calendar. We will construct a massive idea-web on our whiteboard. Individuals will pull ideas from this list to construct a list of their top 3 preferences. Along with topics, students will write their preferences for partners (as well as red flag partners). They will finally submit their preferences for review and Mr. Shaddox will construct pairs for the project. Each student will receive one of their top 3 choices in both topic and partner.
