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 classroom. In addition to using our sources from the media center, I encouraged students to use other sources such as a dictionary for a definition (old reliable) and to search for intriguing or unusual facts to add interest to their research papers. One student created questions for an interview. His career choice is gravedigger and his questions will cover the benefits, working conditions, and problems faced in the job. Great progress was made. The rough draft is due on Friday, February 29, 2008.

Homework: Continue research; SSR.
