Week 10: October 28-November 1

THINK OF OWN IDEA!!!

This week we will begin a Revolutionary War project. This assignment involves researching a topic of the student's choosing, creating a presentation to share with the class, and making a "homemade item" to support his/her presentation. The assignment directions are glued into the student's notebook on page 39, and have been shared with the students as a google doc. Projects are due on Tuesday, November 12. Students will sign up for a presentation day sometime that week. We will be devoting time in class each week to work on this, and students are expected to work on it outside of class as well.
