Children in 4TD Project

“The Children in 4TD” Project!

Dear 4TD students,

In beginning our journey of learning and working together this year, one of the first steps will be to share information about us so that we can learn about and understand each other. In 4TD, we like to celebrate and acknowledge what we have in common, as well as the ways in which we are unique and different.

For example, some of us have families in different countries, some of us have certain passions or interests, some of us speak different languages, some of us have expertise in interesting topics, or some of us have hidden talents! Similar to the book

we shared in class called Children Just Like Me by Barnabas and Annabel Kindersley, we are going to create a book about the children in 4TD! Each student in our class will create one page to add to our book. Please read and refer to the following guidelines to help you with this assignment.

• • You will be given a 14x11 cardstock page to be used VERTICALLY.

  • You will fill the page with pictures and captions.

  • To brainstorm, please choose to fill in at least 5 of the following sentence starters. *Remember, because we are all different, not all of the topics will apply to you. Of course, you may include information that is not suggested. Please write a couple of sentences to go with each topic you choose.
