Announcements and Reminders:  Hero Research #5 is due by the end of the period today, but you may choose between Hero Research #4 and  Hero Research #4, and complete just one of them. The other will not count on your grade.    Make sure you have completed #1-#3 also.  If you cannot find your hero on either World Book or SIRS, watch for the yellow highlighted directions to follow.  Next time we will begin working on the PowerPoints, which are due  by the end of class on DECEMBER 13, this Friday. Before you work on your PowerPoint, you will need plenty of notes and your citations. If you are behind, make up the work during cave time in lab 223, make an appointment with Ms. Dorsey for after school, or complete it at home.  You may take your packet home, or download the packet pages from this blog:  See the tab above for "Famous Person Project: Instructions and Downloads."  If you miss a day, don't forget to make-up the reading time using the pink make-up chart, or using your own paper.

Class Activities:  1. Individual Reading and Fill out Reading Log 2. Partner Fluency Practice 3. Computer lab to work on Hero Research Papers.  You need to complete four of the five.     PLEASE READ THE TEACHER COMMENTS.

If you were absent: Read the announcements and reminders above. Pick up one of the pink make-up sheets for reading, and read a book or magazine at home for twenty minutes, fill out the form, and get a parent or guardian signature. Work on your Hero Project at home.  Make sure you are caught up.
