Today's Class and Tonight's Homework - 01/05/15

WELCOME BACK, LANGUAGE ALL-STARS!

I hope you all had an awesome vacation full of plenty of laughs, rest and fun!  I also hope that you had some time to do some reflection and reset your head for school.  It's nice to have a break to allow us to refresh and hit the reset button, but now it's time to get to work.  We only have two weeks until grades close for progress reports and three weeks until progress reports go home.  Good news?  We have only six weeks of school until February vacation!  So, it's time get your heads in the game, my friends!  We have no time for dilly dallying!

AGENDA
Objective:  To jump headfirst into our first writing lab activity - a mini research project.  You will spend today and the next few days collecting research from multiple sites on the endangered species of your choosing.  You will also be keeping an easybib.com list of your sources.

1.) New Year, New Seats!
2.) Quick chat and check in
3.) Collection of The Outsiders textbooks
4.) ELA/SCI collaboration - Writing Lab Project #1
5.) Rev your engines and let's get started with our research
6.) Agenda Books

HOMEWORK
If you want to submit your author letter into the contest, I need your best work by this Thursday.  If you do not want to submit it, I need your best draft to be in class with you tomorrow so that when I start meeting with you to conference we can look at it together.
