Update - Monologues and Research Paper

The Thanksgiving monologues are MARVELOUS, and students are enjoying listening to each other in class. I hope your student shared this activity with you at home. Students know they are to attach the rough draft and brainstorm behind the final draft.

The Research Paper is here. (Hooray!) Many handouts from class are also on this blog to the right under "handouts". Students will receive two separate packets about the research project from me. They need to have a 2-pocket folder for ONLY this project and 3x5 cards in a ziplock bag this week. On Thursday the first source and topic proposal sheet were due. Students MUST stay on schedule and need to work on each component as directed in class.
