In class 10/3

Good morning everyone..unfortunately I will not be in school today, but while I'm gone I'd like you to begin working on a crest for your (made up) country.

The link to the assignment is HERE, and you can download the PDF of the crest HERE if you need another one.

In short, this is what you need to accomplish:

  • design a crest.  Must have color, and each box must be used somehow - it's up to you.  
  • write a reflection that answers the questions on the assignment page (step three).  This will be posted on YOUR blog
You may print out / glue images if you'd like - drawing is totally cool too. As always, you won't be graded on drawing ability, but your ability to create a presentable piece of work.  Since you may not have the resources ideas you need today while I'm absent, some things you can be working on are the actual crest, researching what images you need/want to have on your crest and finding what they represent, or writing the post and filling in the crest later.

There is a link on the assignment page (linked above in this post) to a website that is a huge list of commonly used symbols in national crests throughout the world.  Futhermore, THIS online chapter (not your book, but similar) has really good examples on pg 602 of how countries like the US, Austria, and Zimbabwe use their crests to reflect their national identity. 


Your crest and post will be a 15pt homework grade, and the whole thing will be due Monday, October 7.  You should also be reading section 24.1 for homework tonight (see post below).
