[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello guys,

What do u suggest for appeal .
Short Poem is a good idea?? [/quote]

Short anything isnt a good idea.  this is the place to showcase what your child can do.  Keep in mind that the stipulation is what you can fit in a page; many parents will take multiple (2 or more) pages, shrink them to fit on a single page.  With children's large handwriting, this is appropriate to get more content.[/quote]

Not sure about this. I provided a 5 page (in second grader handwriting) story my middle child did, with a tiny explanation. Provided a single short-ish poem my younger child did, with a longer explanation. Both had been entered in the PTA art contest, and the explanation my kid gave in the artist statement for the short poem was fairly good evidence of thinking. Both kids got in.

Our AART has indicated that whatever you put has to be readable, [b]and the absolute most important thing is to have your child, in their own words, explain their thinking[/b]. You're painting a picture of your child.[/quote]

Per our AARTs advice, I wrote the few sentences of explanation in my own words for what the committee should be seeing in the sample and DC got in on appeal. [/quote]
