The students will be writing a research project on a topic of their choice. The topic needs to be able to be researched, so I gave the example that Taylor Swift isn't a good topic for research.
Some of the students' topics include Hurricane Katrina, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Ohio State football. This week, the students have to write three source cards telling me that they've found reliable and in-depth sources for their project.
The students have also begun the next wave of book clubs! 6th graders are reading YA adventure books. Their book club meetings have shown me that they're reading their books thoroughly.
Next week, we have four days of school, and the students will continue researching their topics and preparing to write their reports. They will also move forward in their books and continue to meet in their groups.
Have a great week!
Ms. Daly
