Hello again artists and scholars,
This week our Inquiry Projects will be due at the beginning of class on Thursday. I wanted to give students extra days to write their paragraphs and bibliography since this is one of the major English grades this semester.
At the beginning of the week, we will be practicing interview techniques and interviewing the researchers who did Inquiry Project, which is all students in Middle School. This is the only way we will be presenting these projects, through the genre of interview. If students prepared an extra art or artifact, I am also happy to display these in class!
At the end of the week, we will begin our Teens Change The World Unit. We will be studying human rights, social justice, and what WE can do to change our world for the better. We have guest speakers and lots of great books and activities for this unit. It will conclude at the end of the year, when students are most reflective about making changes for the future.
Tuesday: Interview question-writing and interviews of partner researchers.
Wednesday: Interview presentations
Thursday: Inquiry Projects Due at the beginning of class, on paper. Continue interview presentations.
Friday: Teens Change the World Art Walk and Jigsaw reading.
Have a wonderful week! I look forward to learning so much about the research done by our students.
Mrs. K
