Personal+Coat+of+Arms+Assignment

= Personal Coat of Arms Assignment/Rubric and Examples =

Most of you are familiar with the image below. It is the standard format for a “Coat of Arms” and it’s time you had one just for YOU!! Using your best artistic abilities (I know you have them!!) complete your personal “Coat of Arms” as follows:


 * You may cut, paste, draw, paint, sketch, use your computer, use glitter, WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE, to create a beautiful piece of art for our classroom.
 * Your Personal Coat of Arms must fit on an 8.5 x 11 inch piece of paper. Please do not use plain white copier paper or the like; use poster paper, construction paper or something equally as firm
 * In space number one, please insert two photographs of you. One should be a school picture or portrait photo, the other should be a photo that will let us know more about you. (Perhaps an action shot or you with a group of friends.) Beneath your photo, but still in space one, please creatively write your name.
 * In space number two, visually represent three things you do well.
 * In space number three, visually represent something you are striving to become.
 * In space number four, neatly write a personal motto for yourself.
 * In space number five, visually represent something to which you belong.
 * In space number six, please insert a, well-written biographical paragraph about yourself. What do you want the rest of us to know about you?
 * Finally, please have FUN!
