We are done writing our CBAs. Nearly, anyway. Some students still need to do some clean up on their written work. I've graded everything, though. You have the rubrics and graded papers coming home today--first AND second drafts that I've read and marked, all in an effort to have super-clean copies for the finished work for the presentations.
Today I showed the class examples of National History Day (NHD) projects that made it to the national level of competition. (Grades 6-12 compete in NHD, so the work I showed them is more complex than what I expect from my students.) They were quite impressed!
Monday I will go over the directions on how to make a website, and I'll show examples of NHD websites.
At this point creating their presentation should be a matter of copying and pasting their finished paragraphs into their website or printing out (single-space and in a bigger font) their finished paragraphs and pasting them onto their displays.
Then they need to add:
Their presentations are due the week of March 21. Students know the date of their presentation. You can check for your child's due date in the file below!
We will go through the CBAs in chronological order. Everyone will stand up and read us their CBA and show us their pictures. Students should start practicing their presentations now!
