Welcome to Week 11

Today you will be doing online research on one of the early ancient civilizations we are studying in class. Please look to the right, and you will see links for Early Civilizations. You can go to the sites listed there.

After that, send me a comment telling me a research question about one or more of these civilizations that you will be researching.

When you are done, you may go to the other unit links listed at the right. Please do not go on May Dos until the teacher tells you to.

For group work during workshop time, please have someone in your group type in the three questions your group came up with as a comment on this.

Week 8: Why should you have your own blog?

Please send me a comment listing why you should have a blog of your own, and what you will do on it. It should have writing at a sixth grade level. That means complex and compound sentences, not simple declarative ones. It should describe and have details about what you plan to do.

I’ll also be looking at students who have “earned” the ability to create their own avatar by commenting regularly and thoughtfully. Put in a plea for that as well.
