Starting this week the 7th graders are taking over the researching. The project is career speeches. Students have taken an online survey of aptitudes and interests related to careers. Then they selected 3 possibilities for research. Language arts teachers made the final selection to avoid duplication. This past Wednesday I presented the Road Map for Research for this project and students received a copy with all necessary login/password information. Students began their research this week and it continues through next week. We have a wealth of print and online resources for the project, but the public libraries have also been notified.Other activities next week include: laptops for 7th grade social studies on Tuesday and 7th grade math on Friday; 7th grade book checkout Monday; and 6th grade social studies is using some of the tables next Thursday and Friday.
