History Assignment


Good evening, Students!

Today I have a fun History assignment for you to do.

You are going to draw an outfit appropriate for a girl of your age to wear in 1774, which is AG Felicity's time. 

You will need to do a bit of research for this one. I would recommend looking at photos and paintings of gowns from that era, and getting a few ideas of how the basic clothes are supposed to look. 

Once you have finished, please remember to sign and date your drawing, scan it in, and email it to me by the 5th of November. Grades will be posted soon.


Another English assignment for you

Good evening, Students!

Today I have organised another English assignment for you to do. This one is going to be fun!
You will need to do an essay on.....the history of the American girl company! Yep, that's right, the people who made you, (well, most of you anyway!) so this is almost like a family history project for some of you! Here are the things that must be included in your essay:

1. List the first dolls that AG created, along with a photo of each and a little bit about them (e.g. What part of America they came from, their name, their books etc)
2. Include at least one paragraph in your essay about how Mattel took over Pleasant Company, back in the early 2000's, and the effects of this.

For extra credit, you can do a separate short essay on/about your Favourite american girl.

Please email the essay(s) when you are finished to me, and have them in by the 15th of November. That should give you a bit of time for research.

I will include some links that might be helpful for you:

Emily's american girl dolls
American girl playthings

Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any additional questions for this assignment.

Just a quick reminder to let you know that your history assignments are due soon, on the first of November.

Book review assignment reminder

Dear Students,
I'm sure I gave you the deadline for your Book Review assignment for English to be in by, which was the 19th of October, yet I still haven't got any entries. So, I am giving you until the 1st of November, and then, if I still haven't got any in, I will be putting out a fresh English assignment.

Please note: One mark will be taken off your grade for late assignments. This also means, you will not get that mark on your yearly report in December either.
Please let me know if you have any questions at all!

Thank you students, have a nice day!
