If you didn't sign up for your celebrity, please do it as soon as possible.  Please check Skyward for my records of who is doing which celebrity.  Some of you still need to select a celebrity, or select a different one. 

1. Bell-Ringer:  Read the article about" Dad's Bionic Hand" (found on the Internet),  noticing your inner voices:  conversational (What's the conversation?) or  Waste-of-Time?

Interesting article:  Dad's Bionic Hand!   Dad's Bionic Hand Handout


2. Students were introduced to their major project for the term.  
The project may be found at http://celebrityquest.webs.com/


I have made some adaptations, including point values for grading.

The instructions are  available here:

For those who do not have access to the Internet  at home, copies of the assignment instructions are available in class.

Today the students received a worksheet to get started.  If you need a copy, you may upload it from either of these:

The completed project is due by  September 28.  We will be in the computer lab to do research on two days, and will have one day to put together the  PowerPoint Presentations.  Once you have sufficient understanding of what we are doing, you are welcome to also work on this at home.



3. Students did Independent Reading and we continued individual testing.
