My hopes for TAFE competition

                     For my E.A.T. class we have decided to compete in TAFE. For those of you who don't know what TAFE stands for it means Texas Association of Future Educators. We get to compete against other "chapters" in a variety of events. I have made a small list of what I want to compete in. 
                     The first one is a scrapbook of our chapters history. What this means is a scrapbook of what our chapter did the year before. We are allowed to have a group of no more than 4 people doing scrapbook. The next one I would like to do would be children's literature. You would be making a children's book for Pre-k audience. There is a limit of 24 pages just the front or 12 pages front and back. The total people that can do the children's book are 2. Finally the last event I would like to compete in is teacher created materials. You would be making a material you can use in your classroom to help you teach. This event only allows 2 people to compete together and does qualify you to go to state. I have decided to do the scrapbook event with 2 of my very close friends. We will start first by finding pictures of what our chapter did last year. For example last year we did a book drive then donated them to a clinic that had none. We will work hard on our scrapbook after class or any spare time we may have. We hope this will take us about a month or so to complete. To be successful we will need to be focused and do our best on this scrapbook. We will need encouragement and a lot of practice on what we are going to say. I hope we do great so I can inform you all that our hard work payed off.
