Quarter 3, Week 3 of 10

Reminder: A personal interview is REQUIRED as one of your sources in the research for this project!
Tuesday, January 22
 or 
Wednesday, January 23
Due Today: At least one more source on the Annotated Bibliography (5)
Learning Target: W.11-12.5 Develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach. W.11-12.8 Gather relevant information from multiple authoritative print and digital sources, using advanced searches effectively.
Classwork
  1. Do Now: Preview the entire blog post for this week. If you have questions about homework or classwork, ask. Notes in your INB are recommended, but not required.
  2. After: Review the interview guide
    1. Contact AT LEAST 3 potential interview candidates: one who will probably say yes, one who might say yes, and one who you would like to interview but are not sure what they will say.
    • Remember: You are representing your school and your family when you conduct the interview. Consider this when you are addressing the interviewee.
  3. After: 15 minute timed-write: Using the knowledge you've gained from research so far, write an essay about your topic.
Target Practice: I understand and can use an interview to learn new information about my topic. I can keep track of that information using my annotated bibliography. Fist-5?
Homework
  • Add at least one more source to the Annotated Bibliography using a search engine from the KKHS Library. At this point, you should have at least six sources listed on your annotated bibliography.
  • An email was sent to all students including the link to the Khan Academy options for this quarter. If you did not receive it, you must contact me ASAP or ask a friend to forward the one they received to you. 
  • REMEMBER: if you DID NOT make an Independent Learning choice, then this is the option I am expecting.
