This week, the students are very busy working on two different projects: one, their research paper, which is moving along quite quickly, and the other, finishing Shakespeare and the subsequent work. After receiving their grades outlines and works cited pages, the students know where to begin on their first draft. We also had a lesson on how to create in-text citations and when it's appropriate to add these in.
Shakespeare has been a blast! We are going to finish the play this week and the students will be introduced to their upcoming group project and a Shakespeare test later this week. I have no doubt the students will do amazingly well on both.
We are using class time this week to work on both projects, as well as a couple of spelling sheets and Writer's Notebooks.
Here are this week's/next week's due dates:
Rough Draft of Research Report: Due Tuesday, February 17th
Shakespeare Test: Thursday, February 19th
Have a great three-day weekend coming up!
Happy Presidents' Day!
