In Language Arts, we are beginning the year with a project that will help them get to know each other better. With a partner, they will conduct the interview in class and gather the information for an article. They have to choose wisely since they are allowed to ask only seven questions. In class, students will receive a rubric with the expectations for the project. A copy is also available through the Parent Connect gradebook. Work time to type the article in class will be given next Thursday. Students are also encouraged to save their work to a flash drive, so they have a copy to review at home. I look forward to learning more about each of the students!
