Research Project and More

Today the rough draft of their research paper was due and collected in class.

Work on typing up their Big Dream Essays are in progress...if you are in 2nd hour, I have your papers.

My 3 Words date has been set...May 23 at 6:30.  Great things planned!  Parent Committee to meet next week.  Date to be determined.

Almost all students are videotaped! 

In Literature we are coupling two books, Understanding the Holy Land (Non-fiction) and The Outsiders (fiction). Both books deal with real conflicts and issues.  Students will create a Glogster (online poster) in class over their chapter of Understanding the Holy Land. That will begin the middle of next week.
Class discussion over The Outsiders will take place next week as well.  Lots of reading!  Love it!

I also wanted to say that I can't believe this year is almost over. It really has been a joy to work with these kids this year and push them to be their very best.
