Sixth Grade: This week, students are working on writing their rough and final draft of their research paper on a space mission. This paper is in connection with the novel we read in class entitled, Neil Armstrong is My Uncle. Students have spent two day in the computer lab and I have also made hard copies from websites to give almost all students to aide in their research. In preparation for this paper, we have learned how NOT to plagiarize and to only take notes on important facts that we can put into our own words. Today, the beginning paragraph of this paper was modeled by me on the Smart board. The final copy of this paper will be due this Friday. Unless your child is absent this week, he/she should be able to write the whole rough draft in class and write the final draft for homework. Also due this Friday is a character profile. This is an at-home writing assignment that your child has had practice doing in class as well as an example of how to write it that was demonstrated on the Smart board. Students are to write about a main character from a book they have just finished or are almost done with. The criteria for what they are to include is on the back of the form that was handed out today. For the past two weeks, they were to be taking notes on their main character so that they could put the information down in paragraph form on their final copy paper. Please ask to see this at home. The final copy should be the student's best writing after doing a rough draft on lined paper.
Seventh Grade: Students have been reading a studying various short stories, articles, and poems relating to Civil Rights during the past month. To cap it all off, they are researching and writing a paper on a topic that interests them regarding Black History. We will complete the rough draft this week and the final will be homework on Thurs. The final draft will be due Friday. Please remind your child to get this done. Also, a character profile essay is due March 16. Students are aware of this and have had the information on how to write this essay for over two weeks. They also have been given the form for this essay in which to write their final copy. This should be worked on at home this week.
