Essential Question: How will I make an effective presentation of my research?
After a trip to the media center for checkout, students who were either off-campus or unprepared on Friday presented their research projects today. Two classes reviewed usage rules for quotation marks. In anticipation for a Scrabulous lesson I devised last night, I introduced the concept of Scrabble by giving the students the task to work in pairs to find as many words as possible from a scrambled seven letter word. The class took to it and had fun; the unverified record was 53 words made from the letters in climate.
