Helpful Teacher Guidelines:

This project should last about five weeks.
- The first week you should introduce the assignment, divide students into groups, and establish which group is going to do which artist. Make sure that no two groups do the same artist.
- By the end of the second week, all information should be collected by investigator and the interviewer and needs to be turn into the editor.
- By the end of the third week all editing should be completed and turned into the designer. A rough copy should be e-mailed to you. Also, group meetings should have been conducted in the classroom.
- By the end of the fourth week, a rough copy of the newsletter should be completed and e-mailed to you. Each group should have a meeting conducted in the classroom to review their newsletters.
- By Thursday of the fifth week, the newsletter should be completed, and copies should be made for each student in the class for the presentation on Friday.
You should monitor all meetings being conducted by the groups to have a proper understanding on what is going on in each group.
Make sure to let each group know that you are available to answer questions and give advice.
This should be a fun project so enjoy working with your students and allow them to have freedom to express theirselves through this project.
Make sure to remind your students to work together and share the computers when working in groups.
Suggestion: On "Read All About It Day", maybe bring in some renaissance food and decorate the class.
