[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, I don't think they're talking about an appeal (NP here).  Parents have the option of including these documents on the initial assessment round.  Our AART encouraged all parents to include them regardless of test scores (e.g. even if the child is "in the pool").

For the work samples, we have a couple of pictures that our child has drawn of his "inventions" (machines, mechanical devices, airplanes) and some stories that he has written.  Also a drawing for a game that he made up.  Our AART offered to go over the packet with us and help select which specific items to include.  She did say that photos are good, too, like a complex Lego creation or Origami - we might include one of those if I can go through our photo archives in time :).

I don't have much for the other 5 pages, though.  We just don't really do any structured academic activities.[/quote]

2nd poster here. This is very helpful. I am glad that I am not the only one who doesn't have much for the 5 pages. I was a bit stressed about that. I feel like I am filling out a college application! lol

You have some great examples for possible work samples. This gives me a much better idea of what the committee is looking for when viewing these samples.

Question: How are you displaying your child's stories? I may include a multi-page writing sample but I need to fit it on a single-sided page. Should I just show one page of it or should I photograph all of the pages and fit them on one single-sided page?[/quote]
