Early Christmas Gift from Mr. Ocampo

Shalom Class!

To make sure you do your Final Output for the Creative Synthesis VERY WELL, and in keeping with the spirit of the season, I am officially extending the deadline for your Scrapbooks to December 17 for all classes.

Your preparatory outputs (journal entries) will be returned on Monday and Tuesday during class time. As you get them back, please do the following:

1. Write the Introduction of the Scrapbook by describing the promise to the Patriarchs as you prepare to unfold the story of how it is fulfilled through the journal entries.

2. Revise the individual journal entries so that the journal, as a whole, will be consistent and coherent.

Example: You may want to change first person singular references (I's) to make them first person plural references (We's).

The length of the articles should also be proportional. Cut down articles that are too long while add on articles that are too short. Polish the grammar and finalize the lay-out. No prescribed font style, size or color.

3. Mount your memorabilia in the scrapbook. Do not forget to write a short but complete description (3-5 sentences) for each memorabilia and how it is important/meaningful for that part of Israel's history. Also, make sure that the memorabilia itself appears in the story as narrated in your journal entry so its importance is highlighted.

4. Conclude by writing the final prophecy and/or prayer as described in the rubrics.

5. Finally, decorate your scrapbook with pictures, cut-outs, drawings, etc. to make it even more beautiful.

Enjoy your work and let your learning, talents and creativity shine! God bless you.
