Hey all, For the instructional context for the vaious entries, can these be pretty similar? I know that the cover sheet can be the same for all of the entries...
Your entries will be read in different cities across the country. (The schedule for what is read where will be posted close to summer.) Even if two ...
For entry 4 there is a limit of 16 sheets of documentation. Do Verification Forms count towards the maximum 16 sheets? What about the parental contact log?...
Anything beyond your commentary is in the documentation count: verification letters, parent contact log, etc. For that reason, some candidates choose to write...
