Supervisor+Responsibilities



Thanks for helping out with the biography project!!!!

Your job as supervisor is to take the child you are working with through each stage of the Living History Museum. The parts of the project are listed on the goal sheet in the packet each child has. When your student completes each task, put your initial and the date next to the tasks.

For the research stage – here are the tasks:

• Does the student have a realistic goal of time it will take to complete notes on the full book and other resources? (Look at their calendar)

• Make sure the book they’ve chosen works for them in both content and reading ability.

• Are the demarcations for each time period realistic?

• Are they pulling out salient information? (See jot list)

• Has the entire life been covered? If person is still alive does the student have up to date information?

• Do they need extra resources that you can help locate?

• Have they noted resources on a note-card or through noodle tools?

You will be the reader of the child’s rough draft. I will give you a sheet so you know the kinds of things to help students with for their final drafts. The goal is for the work to be in the student’s words. I have different goals in mind for each child. All students will write a 5-15 page “autobiography”. I will try to touch base with each of you about these individual goals. The information about individual goals is confidential. Please be sure to contact me with questions. My experience is this is best done by phone rather than e-mail, or in class. My home phone is 617 354 0584. You can call me until 9:30 or stop by after school. It is hard to talk between classes, but depending on the day, you may be able to catch me then for a short question.

Again, thanks a ton.
