Week of Oct. 19th

Yes it is true! Mr. Wells has fallen ill, like many of his students, with some strong strain of the flu. I will not be in until Wednesday.

Graded rough drafts with comments will get to students on Wed.

*** Final Drafts are due on Friday, October, 23rd ***

Agenda:

Monday: Students work on the last 2 components of the thesis paper left undone: Works Cited in MLA format, and a visual/imaged-based title page that supports their thesis.

Tuesday: Explorer foldables - Students create booklets on the who, when, where and why of early European exploration.

Wednesday: Students get rough drafts back and make adjustments to their rough drafts - they now have 2 peer edits and a teacher edit.

Thursday: Explorer webquest - using discovery education online, students identify the when and where of early European explorers in the Americans.

Friday: Students present final projects to the class!
