Students have been collaborating with classmates all last week in an effort to plan
out how they would like to present their research at the Inquiry Fair in April.
As groups get their plans approved, they are working to create a "rough draft"
of their final products. For example, posters will be planned out on loose leaf
paper and iMovie presentations will be organized and planned. Even in situations
where students plan to dress up and act out their understanding, students will
be expected to write up what they will wear, how it helps their presentation,
and what they will do. The idea behind this is to help the students prepare for
creating their final projects and in some cases, help students recognize that
more research is needed. Mr. Krupar, Mr. Kallie, and I will review the rough
drafts and help students accordingly.
These "rough drafts" need to be
finished by the time students return from Spring Break. Students will have time
to work on them over the next three school days. Any rough draft work that is
unfinished will go home as homework over Spring Break. Ask your child about
their plan, especially if they plan to dress up. We have asked those students to
ok it with parents first since they will require unique clothing and attendance
at the Inquiry Fair. Students that use their work time wisely, will have little
to no work to do over Spring Break.
When students return from Spring
Break our focus will shift to creating the final projects for the Thursday, April 18th Inquiry Fair.
