4/21, 4/22, & 4/23

On Monday and Tuesday of this week, students finished the last round of FAIR testing.

On Wednesday, we were working on parenthetical citations for your research project.  Students were given examples of parenthetical citations from the Purdue Owl website.  Then, as a class we read an article about Sun Halos, which we witnessed here in Florida last week.  Students were then asked to create parenthetical citations using the examples along with the article read.

4/14 and 4/15

Students will be taking the FCAT Reading and Math tests on these days.  Students please get a good night's sleep and please eat before you come to school, or eat breakfast at school.  It will help you while taking the FCAT.  I will be informing students of where to go and when on Friday and Monday mornings.

4/10 & 4/11

Today students are practicing taking the FCAT on laptops.  They are completing FCAT practice tests at USF's website.  They will be doing this on Thursday and Friday of this week.  They will then be testing on Monday and Tuesday of next week.

4/8/14

Today students were learning about quotes and how to use them within their research papers.  We read pages 48-49, 89-91in the  Writing a Research Paper handbook.  Students then completed exercise 9 on pages 91-92 finishing the quotes just as they might use them in their research papers.

4/3 ok so I have been slacking.

Hi guys.  I have been slacking on my posting here on the blog.  This week we have been learning about primary and secondary sources and how to cite them.

In the writing a research paper workbook we completed exercises 10 and 11 on pages 39-40.

We then read pages 21-24.
