Projects

My students will do a number of projects both alone and in groups. For the group projects, sometimes I will allow them to choose their own groups, but at other times I will assign the proups. I feel that it is important for teenagers to learn to work with people that they may not know or like very well. Many times, kids refuse to work with some one because they run in different social crowds, yet they are more alike than they think. Some of the projects will include illuminated manuscripts, illustrations of stories, original poetry, and dramatic recitations. By dramatic recitations I mean that they WILL NOT stand in front of me and in a monotone voice repeat something they memorized five minutes ago. I will expect my students to know the correct pronunciation of the Old English and well as the proper places to pause, relax and stress.
