Happy Friday!

What a wonderful day with students working in pairs and looking very academic! The research unit is going so well, and I am impressed with the maturity and focus with the task. This will lead to an informational book that all students will share with one another. The skill taught today was organization of topics and different styles of writing for your book.

Because this project is so independent, it doesn't make sense for me to assign homework. This task is left up to the student groups. Every student today was given a "homework tracker" in which their partner will make sure they are accountable for their work. I will collect the randomly to see where groups are in their research. The homework will count as a grade. Students are learning a great deal about a topic in Teen Activism!

H/W: I have set Monday, March 30, at the end of class, as the goal for finishing your first chapter. Talk, email, google chat or skype with your partner about how to accomplish that.

Enjoy the weekend!
