April 16 through 20

Argumentative Research Paper begins this week!         NO Word Study Test!

Monday through Wednesday we will be in the media center doing research. Students will need to develop an essential question and take a stand. Next they will research articles in the SIRS database to use as sources for their paper. Each paper will need a minimum of three sources.

This paper will use the same format as the Silly Persuasive. The only difference is that this is a serious topic and will have real sources.

Thursday and Friday will be in-class work on the paper. The paper's deadline for final copies will be the end of April.

There are three HOW TO videos on my blog. They should be helpful is there is a confusion.

Students may access SIRS on a home computer by going to:* http://sks.sirs.com Use MI1316H and 49345 to get into the system.

If you experience problems with http://sks.sirs.com, use http://sts.sirs.com

REMINDER:

There will be a special board meeting on Wednesday, April 18th. The purpose will be to gather input as we prepare next year's budget. It will be a open forum to gather ideas of what is important to parents, community and staff.  The meeting will be held in the media center at the high school, starting at 7:00 p.m. As always, we encourage your attendance.
