Greetings!
We are down to the wire with our research papers! As we met this week we discussed any last questions about the papers that students had. We also spent a significant amount of time talking about the presentation portion of this assignment.
I decided to make this a part of the class because it increases ownership of the topic for the students and is often a part of senior or capstone projects. It also gives the student an opportunity to share their hard work with the others in the class. The guidelines for the presentation are fairly simple: take 5 to 15 minutes to share the highlights of the research. The students are encouraged to use visual aids like posters, maps, or even live animals.
Next Week:
-- Final copies of the papers are due!
Anyone who wants me to take a look at his/her papers before next week should send it in before Monday so that I have enough time to read it and get it back before Tuesday.
-- Come prepared for presentations:
Everyone by Hanna is presenting next week.
Note: Our last week of classes is December 13. We'll have one last presentation and a "party" of food and literature/writing activities.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Prichard
