The students were supposed to have their rough draft finished on Monday so we could work on them. Some did, most did not. We worked on the reports anyway. Tuesday they were supposed to have their rough draft finished (again), some did, some did not. We worked on the reports anyway.
Wednesday the reports are due at the beginning of class. The students have had the rubric and assignment since Oct. 7th and should know exactly what is required. The report must have a minimum of three paragraphs, 8-10 sentences in each paragraph. Spelling and punctuation must be correct. That is why the rough drafts were important, so they could work on those things. Last, each report had to have five parts, Identify and describe the invertebrate, tell its habitat, life cycle, how it affects people, and an interesting fact. Each report must have a picture, hand drawn or computer generated. I would prefer the reports to be handwritten as many of the 6th graders need the practice.
At the beginning of class tomorrow each team will decide who is to tell about what in the oral report. Then we will all learn more about the invertebrate each team studied. This report is worth 100 points.
Parent teacher conferences are tomorrow from 4:30 - 7:00 P.M. It would be nice to meet the parents and see which student hooks up to which parent.
