Student+Page

Each student will have a student page. The students will research their background and cultures and in this space, the students will create and post an autobiography about themselves. This activity is to help me get to know the students and to help them get to know each other. Each student will have a page in the wikispace to post their autobiography.This biography may take many forms, some students may choose to simply write their biography, others may choose to tell their story through pictures, videos, songs, etc. When the real thing is created in my classroom it will be set up as a private wiki to protect the identities of the students. Only students, parents and myself will have access to the page.

This will be a project that students work on at school as well as at home. Students can bring pictures and artifacts in from home and we can scan them at school. They will have access to the computers at school to work on this project. Those students who do not have computer access at home will have more computer time at school to complete their autobiography.

As the year goes on, the students will add more to their pages. They can scan in work that they are proud of to post there, they can link to their blog if they choose to, add pictures, and personalize their space.
