On Thursday and Friday, students will be going to the library to start their historical figures research assignment. Each student will choose a person in history and research where and when that person lived and learn about why their historical figure is important. We will do the majority of the research and rough draft writing at school, and students will be creating their final drafts for homework. Students will be required to submit a list of resources and are asked to only use valid internet resources (no wikipedia, etc.). Note taking for research will be done in student's social studies notebooks. It is extremely important that they have their notebooks every day in class so that they can work on their project as they finish their weekly assignments.
These assignments will be due Thursday, September 29th. Now that I have a better idea of my students' abilities - this date will be set in stone (other dates have been flexible as I have been getting to know students and learning what they are capable of). Please e-mail me with any questions!
