Hello. Students will be choosing a topic for their argument essays on Monday. We will spend Tuesday and Wednesday in the computer lab looking for research and information on their topics. Students may need to spend extra time at home reading about their topics so they can be an "expert." We will begin writing the essays on Thursday, however the final copy will not be due until Tuesday, March 4th.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: LAD Fair projects are due on Thursday. This has to be completed entirely at home; we will not spend class time on the projects. Students were given a hand-out with project choices on Monday, February 10th, and have had daily reminders to be working on the project.
