Here are your HW assignments for the week of 11/5. HW, unless stated otherwise, is due by the next class session, and must be signed by a parent/guardian in order to receive full credit.

What Does America Mean to Me?
“What does America Mean to Me?”
Due Date: 9/16/2013
Introduction:
It's been called the Land of Opportunity, the Land of Liberty, a melting pot and a great experiment. For more than 280 million people today, the United States of America is quite simply "home" -- a place of beauty, comfort and memories as well as a source of pride, strength and stability in an ever-changing world.
What does America mean to you? For this assignment, you will express those ideas in a written and visual form.
What do I Have to do?
1. Based on your experiences, in both school and “the real world,” consider what America means to you (Examples: Freedom? Opportunity?)
2. Brainstorm, and make a list of all the different things that America means to you. Then, narrow that list to the two or three most important things (in your opinion).
3. Once you have those ideas in mind, think about what those ideas would look like. What pictures, or images do these ideas create in your mind?
4. Using those images in your mind, draw, or download pictures that best express what America means to you in a visual form.
5. After you’ve selected your pictures or images, write a one-page composition that expresses your feelings in a written form. Try to make it clear to the reader what you are trying to say with your visual. Please make sure your composition is either typed, or neatly written in ink. IMPORTANT: There’s no right or wrong answer. However, you must be able to explain your answer.
6. On a piece of poster paper, attach those pictures, or images, as well as your composition. Try to use a colored piece of poster paper if possible. Arrange them in any manner you like (a collage, cut-outs, etc.). Make your presentation eye-catching and appealing; something that you would be proud to present to your classmates, parents, etc.
7. BE CREATIVE. WORK HARD. HAVE FUN.
8. Write your name, and class on the back of your poster board.
How Will I be Assessed? This assignment is worth 100 points. You will be given a rubric in class for this assignment.
