At the end of the 6-week History block, we will have a random raffle drawing for a few prizes, which you can enter in AT LEAST ONE of the following ways:
***(You MUST complete at least ONE of these in order to attend Journeyman class.)***
1) Find a BEAUTIFUL, INSPIRING IMAGE
that you absolutely LOVE of something that is notable or
distinguishable in Italy. Take a screenshot of it and upload the image
through the form linked below. Be prepared to briefly tell us what the
location is and what you love about it.
2) Find a REALLY INTERESTING FACT
about Italy that you think is fascinating and which you think I - as a
"grown-up" and your mentor - would NOT know. Write that fact in your
binder, and be prepared to briefly tell us about it.
3) Find an IMAGE OF AN INTERESTING LANDMARK
in Italy that you would love to visit, and be prepared to briefly tell
us about it - why you'd like to visit there. Take a screenshot of this
place and upload it through the form linked below.
4) Find a RELATIVE IN YOUR FAMILY HISTORY
- at least THREE generations back - who is from Italy or somewhere in the vicinity of Italy, and write down
their name in your binder. Ask around amongst your family (your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.)
to see if you can find a little story or interesting piece of
information about them to share with us, also including who they are in
relation to you (i.e. - your Great Great Grandmother, Great Uncle, etc.).
5) Find an INSPIRING / MEANINGFUL QUOTE FROM SOMEONE FAMOUS
who was/is from Italy. Write it down in beautiful handwriting, or
create a "Meme" quote pic with it, and include it in your binder. Or
just write it in your binder and MEMORIZE it to share it with us. You
can snap a pic of your artwork and submit it through the form linked
below, or enter just the text in the form linked below. But please put your original artwork in your binder.
Go to
------>>>>> THIS FORM <<<<<-------
to submit your information and/or pics.
This will let me know who has done the work and will be in Journeyman class this week.
For every one item you complete of the above 5 items, I will add your name to the jar.
At the end of our 6 weeks of History study, each entry you have
in the jar gives
you another chance at winning a prize.
You will also earn $1 in Vanbucks
for each of the 5 items above that you complete each week.
FYI: If you do the work but choose not to attend Journeyman class,
you will forfeit your Vanbucks and name entries. Sadness!!
Happy Studying!
