HOMEWORK: Research Outline Due Wednesday!
We completed our last day of research in the computer lab today. Most students seem to be doing a great job of completing their research outlines and many have already started on the rough draft.
REMEMBER: Each student must use at least three resources for research, and at least two different types of resources (website, book, encyclopedia, magazine article).
HOW PARENTS CAN HELP:
1. Take a look at your child's research outline, particularly the three reasons their Outstanding American is outstanding (in the thesis statement). Many times students are on the right track, but need help with making their main ideas more global.
2. Make sure your child is keeping up with the deadlines on the calendar I sent home. If your child needs to do more research, encourage them to get on the Internet at home, help them plan for time to stay after school (Wednesday or Thursday), or make plans to go to the Mid-Continent Library.
