Christmas Break!

Well, long time no talkie all you Smartypants!

December was a month of classwork on verbs. We finished the Winter Book Report (if you didn't turn it in before break, you have MONDAY 1/4/10 as the turn in date. After that it is late. We also finished presentations for our Native American research projects.

There is no other winter break homework, but, if you want to get a head start...

I have already posted the january research project which is on American Presidents. Please look under 8th grade materials for three seperate handouts, one is the directions. Please FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS!!! The other two are the rubrics for the essay and the overall presentation. You will notice that there are now extra points for the essay, so please be sure you follow the directions.

Last, there is an essay checklist, created by Jake B. in period 3 that has been posted to 8th grade materials to help you make sure that you have everything you need to write a solid essay. We used these on the last essay, as well. Please download the checklist and compare it to your work to make sure that you are not missing anything.

Happy holidays to you all! Have a great break and I look forward to seeing you in January!
