__ Putting the Pieces Together - Your Final Task __

You have a choice for your final assignment and are asked to complete ONE of the TASKS below. Choose from either creating a story for younger students about anger management using a program called storybird OR completing a digital poster about anger using glogster.

__ TASK #1 OPTION: __

In this section you will be creating a picture book to teach younger students how to deal with anger. You will be working in pairs(your choice) and have quite a bit of freedom when developing your story. Please remember to use language that is appropriate for younger students and to keep the audience in mind when choosing pictures.

__Criteria:__

- Working with a partner Create a 10-12 page children's book that focuses on anger management. - Use a catchy title that will draw readers in - Make sure your story has a beginning, middle and end and that it is appropriate for younger children. - Please see attached [|rubric] for how your story will be marked.

__Step 1:__

Familiarize yourself with[| www.storybird.com] and create an account for your group. All you need is an email address to set up your account. Take some time to learn about the different features of the program and look at examples of online stories others have created. Go through a brief tour [|here.]

__Step 2:__

Use a story map to outline the plot of your book. Make sure the focus is on teaching younger students how to deal with anger. Look back through the wiki to review strategies for dealing with anger. Think about all of the strategies you have learned so far in this course. Create a story map to outline your ideas before beginning your book. Take the time to create characters that young children can relate to. Careful planning will come through in the final product of your story.

__Step 3:__

Choose the layout, graphics, and characters for your story in storybird. Start the rough copy of your book and play around with the features that are available to you. Write your book! Try and incorporate strategies and information you have learned about frustration and anger in this unit. This is an opportunity to show what you have learned and make it relevant to other kids.

__Step 4:__

Make final edits to your storybird and send it to me via email. I will post the stories at the bottom of the page so you can take a look at your peers work. Please comment on one other pair's story in the discussion area above.

__ TASK #2 OPTION: __

__Step 4__: Your poster should be creative, unique and demonstrate what you have learned in this unit. You have the freedom to design it any way you like. Once you are finished please provide the link to your poster below with your name next to it. Remember: while working on your poster and even when you are done, you have the option to make your poster **PRIVATE** or **PUBLIC**. For this activity private is fine. It just means you have to email us a link to your site so that we can check it out! If you choose, you can make your poster PUBLIC - but that means __anyone__ who uses glogster can see your work.
