The Personal Learning Manual

Students will design a multi-page instruction manual using the paper provided that will help me understand how to be their best teacher possible.

The Timeline
Students will have the first week of school to complete this assignment.  The due date will be posted on the Schoology calendar for this course.  Directions for turning the work in will be attached to that Schoology assignment. 

The Directions 
Create one page of your manual for each of the topics in the list below these instructions.  You are welcome to expand upon the required number of pages, but you must at least include a page for each heading. 

1. Cover Page (Make it Fun and Personal)
2. My Identity
3. What I'm Good At
4. How I Learn
5. Triggers and Pet Peeves
6. What Makes Me Nervous About This School Year
7. What I Hope to Learn This Year
8. What Makes Me Happy
   
   

Be Yourself
I want this manual to exude your personality and teach me about you through the means by which you feel most comfortable expressing yourself.  Some of you may want to draw or illustrate your manual so that can get a sense of your passion for making art.  Others of you may want to use photos, or simply just words to communicate with me.  Whatever you decide to do, I want you to have the freedom to express yourself the way you want.   That’s what art is truly about. 

The only rule here is that you have one page per topic that was listed.  Feel free to get as creative and inventive as you'd like with this.
