Writing - Students will continue working on Quill individualized grammar lessons for the intermediate unit to focus their personalized plans. Students will complete their History Fair papers, specifically body paragraph 5 (conclusion) and updates to their Annotated Bibliography. Students will have an opportunity for peer editing and teacher conferencing this week to ensure they are turning in their best work.
Civics/Social Science - We have completed Unit 2 in our Participate Civics curriculum. Students will be working on completing their History Fair papers this week. We will look at project options (Exhibit Board, Documentary, Website and Paper) as well as exemplars in each category so students have an opportunity to think about the best project style to represent what they have learned about their topic. When we return in the New Year, students will take what they have learned about their Pioneer or Frontier and create a visual representation through their project choice.
Have a wonderful Winter Break and Happy Holiday Season.
