We finished typing our rough draft of the Famous American report. This is a research / biography report written in third person (ex. George Washington was born......He.....He....). Students should bring this rough draft home to have at least one adult help them edit it. It needs to be returned to school with all editing marks written by hand so the students can type the final draft on Thurs., 10/27, during our computer rotation. This week we are beginning to explain the oral presentation to the students. It should be written in first person (ex. My name is George Washington ...I......I....). It needs to take between 30 - 45 seconds to recite. This will be written on an index card for easy reference. However, their speech should be memorized. We will practice at least once in class. Parents, family, and friends are welcome to come to the Wax Museum on Mon., Oct. 31 from 11:00 - 12:00.
