Content Objective: 2.02 Create a research product in both written and presentational form.
Language Objective: Generate questions about the research process.
Essential Question: How will I support my thesis statement?
Today's class was devoted to research in the media center. I encouraged students to use intriguing or unusual facts to add interest to their research papers. I think the next time I have students create a research paper, I will have a competition to see who can find the most sources. That will hopefully inspire creative thinking and spur the students to stretch a little . Great progress was made; some students completed their first drafts and began creating PowerPoint presentations for next week. The rough draft is due on Friday, February 29, 2008.
Homework: Continue research; SSR.
