HW for the Wed nite English class... one thing is due by the 27th, the rest is due on Dec 4th...

You have 5 different things to do for HW ...some of the work is practical (like planning for the Culture Fest) and some of the work is theoretical, to give you some background about why we are doing this work in Hayward. 

1. We are starting to plan what we would like to do for the Longwood Culture Fest.
Here are possible categories of activities/events that could take place:

1. Fun activities/ events for Kids
2. Holiday Related activities/ events
3. Food (this can have a cultural feel, or a holiday feel, or a "make it at the Fest" feel)
4. Your Community Garden projects 
5. Community Projects  (these can be projects that previous students have done, or they could be new project that you  come up with)
6. Plastic Pollution (deWit class)
7. Longwood Parents projects (we dont know yet what these will be)

Your HW that is due on Wednesday, the 27th is to pick one  possible thing you would like to do at the Culture Fest. Pls write up a 2-3 paragraph summary of what you think you want to do. Try to be as specific as you can about what you want to do. Include materials you think you might need, and directions about how you would DO the activity.  You will be emailing this to me by Wed the 27th.... I will get back to you about the project... it is likely I will say "great, do this!" ---but I might also offer some revisions to the project, or even perhaps ask you to consider doing something different.

The rest of this HW below is due on  Dec 4th when we come back to class.
