IFCC: Meeting Challenges (a simulation)

For the next 2 weeks students will prepare for the IFCC (International Federation of Characters Conference). The theme of this year's conference is meeting challenges.

The conference will take place over 2 periods in class next week (right now it is scheduled for AM students May 4th during 2nd and 3rd periods, and for PM students May 5th during 4th and 5th periods).

Students will hear a featured speaker and then rotate through 6 stations or "break out sessions" these sessions include:

Challenges your character faced
Personality traits
Artifact
Recommendation
Theme summary and costume
Added chapter

To prepare for the IFCC students are to fill out their 3 page registration packet (this is white and was given to students in class on Monday, April 26th). To help students prepare the packet has been broken into pieces with individual deadlines. These deadlines are listed below:

Due April 27th: #1 Adjectives that describe you
Due April 28th: #2 personality trait passage and #4a challenges
Due April 29th: #4b personality trait challenge and #4c object
Due April 30th: #3 theme summary and #4d reccommendation
Due May 3rd: Added chapter
Due at the end of the period May 3: Registration form
Due at the end of the period May 3: Name tag

Students will have time to complete these items in class the day before they are due, and are encouraged to stay on track (this means, not to work ahead), except for the added chapter which should be done entirely at home.

Check the blog for more updates! I look forward to a fun and challenging IFCC!!
