Integrity Visual:

Ms. May — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 21:28:04 +0000

For this assignment, you need to create some kind of visual presentation of a quote about integrity. These visuals will be displayed in the classroom all year. You may use a quote from a book, famous person, or even your parents, a favorite teacher, or another adult you respect. The question is simple: What does it mean to have integrity? So, your quotation needs to answer the question. Other than that, go out, find a quote, and have fun making your visual! J

In class you were given a copy of a “mini-person” who looks like a blank ginger bread man. Use it to reflect you personality and the things that define who you are. You may draw and color the person; you may use pictures to complete it as a collage; you may use the computer to complete the representation of yourself — it’s your choice. After you decorate the person, please cut it out and bring it to the next class period. During class, you will introduce yourself ot the class by telling about your mini-person. Your introduction should be at least two minutes long. I will be timing you.
