Week of March 17

The Plan:

Social Studies:


Students are writing their paper on Alexander the Great this week. All the work will be completed here at school. The goal is for everyone to have their best work turned in on Friday by 3:30. 


Homeroom: We had 100% of our field trip paper work turned in on time! I am looking forward to  watching your students show off all their hard work Tuesday. Hope you can drop by between
 3:45 - 5:00 for Student-Led Portfolio Celebration.
 
What Is Happening:

Monday: Students reviewed their outlines and visited the library.

Tuesday: Students worked on creating their rough drafts. Students brought home an invitation for parents to come and see their work next Tuesday. 

Wednesday: Students completed their rough drafts and worked on revisions.  Each student color-coded their rough draft to make sure they had not forgotten an important idea.

Thursday:  Students peer edited their work and began writing the final copy of their papers.

Friday: Most students completed their Alexander the Great papers. They proudly turned them in with a smile and a sigh of relief. If a student is not yet done, and has worked well in the time provided, they will finish their paper on Monday during our normal class time.
