This week, the students are very busy working on two different projects: one, their research paper, which is moving along quite quickly, and the other, their book club scrapbook project. After receiving their grades outlines and works cited pages, the students know where to begin on their first draft. We also had a lesson on how to create in-text citations and when it's appropriate to add these in.
The scrapbook project is really exciting! The students are coming up with some amazingly creative journal entries, along with some well-researched artifacts to accompany their writing. The scrapbook project is due Thursday, February 12th.
We are using class time this week to work on both projects, as well as a couple of spelling sheets and Writer's Notebooks.
Here are this week's/next week's due dates:
Scrapbook Project: Due Thursday, February 12th
Rough Draft of Research Report: Due Tuesday, February 17th
Have a great three-day weekend coming up!
Happy Presidents' Day!
