October 20 Classwork and Homework

Classwork

I was out sick today, so classes did not go to the LRC to work on their projects.  Instead you worked on Unit 4 Antonyms and Completing the Sentence on pgs 57-58 of our Vocabulary Workshop books.  Students were required to turn this work into the sub before class ended.  After working on Unit 4 Vocabulary, students got into their research groups and were told to do the following:

• Share what each of you found out about their topic during your independent research time.
• Begin to plan out their presentation.  
• Make an outline covering the information that will be shared in the presentation as well indicating who is in charge of each part of the presentation.  
• Share their contact information with each other
• Plan out when, where, and how they will continue their work on this project.

Homework

Students were supposed to turn in their Bibliography/Works Cited page and an annotated source today.  Since I was absent, you have an extra day to work on this.  

1. Your Bibliography/Works Cited page and an annotated source are due Tuesday.
2. Study for Friday's Vocabulary Test
3. Work on your Research Project Presentation
