Reminders: 

Today, September 26:  Today we will share our PowerPoints.   They must be finished and ready to show!

September 30:  Read-a-thon -- Bring something to read, a treat if you wish, and a pillow to sit on if you'd like to.  

If your reading logs were not in your folders to be checked, turn them in as soon as possible. 

If you have a pink make-up log in your folder, take it home to complete and return by September 30. 

All late or revised work must be turned in before or by October 4.  

If you were not ready with your PowerPoint today, or had not finished it, get it done and handed in by October 1.  That is the last day late work will be accepted.

2. Receive PowerPoint Viewing Form to be filled out and turned in your class's top wire basket by the end of class.
3. Computer Lab to set up PowerPoints.

Things we hope you learned: 

There are worse and better ways to do research on the Internet. 
There are more search engines than Google.  Each has its own strengths. 

You can often find useful, reliable information on databases. 

Plagiarism is bad!!!!!  You can avoid it. 

A site such as bibme.org can help you cite your sources. 
And hopefully you learned some interesting things about your hero and about those of the other students.
