Good Morning!

We are on day 2 of the research project using the Newsela website. We are also going to be taking the Informational Reading Unit test this THURSDAY. It is the same test that we had planned for originally. Your 60 minutes for I-Ready will now count as homework for 10 points. If you do not meet the 60 minute requirement for homework then you will get -2 points for each 15 minute increment.

1. Log into your brainstorming sheet from yesterday. If you shared it with me, I have received it and I would have written a comment, to let you know I saw it.
2. Today you are going to finalize a topic by filling out the Research Project Proposal sheet on Google Docs. When you click on it, it should make a copy for you automatically, if it doesn't don't forget to do that before you type.
3. Remember, you should be picking a topic that you want to research, not one that you feel you have to do. Good researchers are interested in their topics, other wise the work is not authentic.
4. Today's classwork requires you to create questions to guide your research. We briefly talked about this when we were in school. You want to have "essential" questions that are answered through your research.
5. Study for test on Thursday
6. I will set up a Zoom call from 1:00-1:30 daily, if you have any questions you can check in then. Here is the link for today
