Illustrated Textbook Cover Due

Periods 1 and 5, Due Thursday, January 31

Periods 2 and 6, Due Friday, February 1

 

Click this link for the instructions.

 

Your textbook MUST BE COVERED in illustrations and narrative where directed. Students who covered their book in a patterned paper will need to incorporate their illustrations on a separate sheet of paper and then paste it to their cover.

You MAY NOT use the printer or paper in Room 427 in order to complete this assignment. It needs to be completed prior to showing up at class.

 

Also, each student must submit a "blog comment" under your tab above. Make sure you leave the comment under the correct period tab or you WILL NOT receive credit for this part of the assignment. Finally, put your FIRST and LAST NAME as the author of the comment, and not in the body of the comment. This makes it easier for me to locate the students in alphabetical order.
