We are launching a research project which will build upon the work done during the unit on the American Revolution. Students have selected a revolution and are researching the who, what, where, when, how/why of it, as well as examining what impact the media has had on human involvement in that revolution. The product will be two-fold: a write-up of the research and a digital story to present the findings to the rest of the team. I anticipate this work taking us into the first week of December. For now, students are doing the bulk of their research in class so that I can support the process. Once the writing begins, there will be some out-of-class expectations. Check in with your son or daughter on the chosen revolution - there are some fascinating topics out there.
As always, students should be progressing through their spelling programs. For those in the formal program, we are on lessons 11-12 this week - to be quizzed next Tuesday (11/15). Please support your child in this effort by checking off on his/her spelling progress chart. Students have received a stark reminder that actually doing the lessons ahead of time has a direct correlation with quiz scores (and vice versa).
