Remarkable Assignment

With only a few weeks left in the semester, we really have four assignments left:

1.  Lesson plans for Where Good Ideas Come From (which we will do in chronological order beginning on January 7th).

2.  Digi-Key interviews (scheduled for January 15 and 16th.  These cannot be missed, so be sure to schedule a time that works for you).

3.  Resume and College credit map.

    A.  Have a complete resume prior to your Digi Key interview.
    B.  For your major, visit the college you plan to attend and then map out all the courses you need to
          take, in order, to earn your degree.  Don't just copy and paste from the university website.
          Actually plot them out by semester for your next four years.  When you declare a major, you will
          have to do this anyway, so I'm giving you a head start.

4.  Your remarkable assignment.  This does not need to be performed or presented in front of the class.

    A.  See the suggestions below.


Remarkable assignment --

This does not need to be a big production.  It simply needs to be an example of something you have done or create that is remarkable.

Possibilities (remember, in addition to the remarkable thing itself, you need to present a one page explanation of why it is remarkable.  Simple)

1.  Show me your acceptance letter to the university you plan to attend.

2.  Submit a video of a recital or performance or creation.

   * maybe this is a science experiment or FFA presentation.
   * maybe you hold your breath and solve a Rubics cube (as Dyrud did)
   * maybe you show us a project you have been tinkering or playing around with
   * maybe you helped your dad build a patio and your mother took pictures.  Put that together using
     iMove to show it all coming together.

3.  Submit a prezi or keynote.  See the example below.



4. Submit an essay.  See the one below

2.2.(Barista Revised for Scribd)

5.  Submit a blog, Youtube video, or other multi-media project.  See the example below:




6.  Submit a service project you have done or plan to do.  Maybe you work with the Special Olympics or have a plan to save the world (think Pay it Forward).

7.  Submit a creative project or creation - maybe it's a Lego version of the climax of "Young Goodman Brown" or an original painting or sculpture or an original song or a photograph

8.  Submit a remarkable original creative project - think Glossi, easel.ly, Pinterest, thinglink, or you are your words.  My example is below.  I uploaded one of my remarkable creations (my daughter Kenzie Scout) and then I embedded over her image (using youareyourwords.com) my wedding vows (which I wrote myself).

Please don't be limited to these suggestions.  They are just intended to spark your imagination and widen the realm of possibility.

The final remarkable assignment must be submitted to me by the final day of the semester.

Thanks!
