I forgot to post yesterday!!! Yikes.
One group had library topic searching yesterday, the other group today. The idea is find a compelling topic for National History Day "Taking A Stand in History." The theme is a bit abstract, but we are doing a great job. Some ideas include
Mohammed Ali
Women who changed ballet dancing
Elizabeth Blackwell - women in medicine
Martin Luther King Jr.
Rosa Parks
Bob Dylan
People may change their minds a few times, but after vacation we start our non-fiction reading and writing unit.
Students finished their hunting and gathering presentations today. We will all present on Monday after vacation.
Mr. Meadows and Ms. Lamb are creating new homerooms for after vacation. This way we get to work with new and different people (at least half new and different.)
