Winter Break Approaches

Students are continuing to meet in the Media Center during Language Arts every day this week. They are expected to have a flashdrive and all research materials with them each day.

Monday - ALL note cards are due. Students will be given a mini-lesson on organizing notecards and outlining using "mywebspiration.com", which can also be accessed through the Internet at home.

Tuesday - Students continue to type Outline in "mywebspiration.com" per directions in class. Examples of an outline are available in the research packets and on the directions for the software.

Wednesday - Typed Outline due and work on rough draft body paragraphs. Information about how to transform the outline into rough draft paragraphs under "handouts".

Thursday and Friday - Continue working on rough drafts - Rough draft of BODY due on Monday, January 4.

In Literacy Skills we will continue to explore Animal Farm and students should have a choice book in class.

May you have a great Winter break full of rest, reading, laughter and peace.
