Multi-Genre Presentations

I absolutely loved everyone’s project.  We were talking about the fact that there is so much information beneath the surface of the project.  Our little scrapbooks and artifacts represent a fraction of the information that was learned.

I was personally touched by the presentations that were given.  I am amazed at the touching stories that were shared.  I really struggled with my topic.  What I really wanted to do eluded me.  I knew that I really wanted to do something with our adoption, but I was unsure about how to go about that. We have to make a scrapbook to share with the birthmothers.  I tried and tried to figure out how I could go about writing my adoption scrapbook and multi-genre  project at the same time.  I decided since I needed resources that maybe I should just pick something that was fun and could be used in my classroom since there are no books written about me that I could use as a reference.  Now that I am finished with Elvis, I am going to start on a multi-genre scrapbook about my husband and I to share with our birthmother about who we are.  After watching the multi-genre projects that were presented this evening I have a better grasp of how that I could do my adoption scrapbook.  Thank you ladies, you have given me inspiration!

Hey just a quickie question… does anyone know of any great fundraising ideas that my husband and I can do to raise money for our adoption?  Someone told us that we needed to do a raffle or have a dinner.  Any ideas would be appreciated.  We need to pay over $10,000 for the adoption.  Every penny is well worth it, but we don’t have an extra $10,000 laying around.  I hate to ask, but I am already working two jobs and we are saving every penny.  Thanks!
