Sorry about the delay but I've had a real rush on my computer by students needing to type poems for their Anthology Project! On another literary topic students are going to the library today to pick a biography to read about a scientist or someone who has contributed to society such as Bill Gates, Jacques Cousteau or an activist for the environment. Most students will use our library but some want to visit the town library. I would like to see everyone with a book by Friday. A rubric was handed out today.
They're very easy books to read for the most part. The Honors Class will have slim pickings since I meet with them at the end of the day, however they might enjoy something more challenging in the town library.
A rough draft will be due Friday, May14. This will involve setting up their report in the same format as requested on their handout.
The final draft will be due Tues., June 1st.
In addition each student will be asked to share some information about the life of their scientist with the rest of the class. This activity will be very informal without any reading from reports.

We've been working on Kingdom Fungi(Pages 95-104) .
They will have a "Quest"(multiple choice, fill in the blank, and a few true and false) on Friday.
It will be counted as a test mark, but shorter and and only covering Sect. 3 , Chapter 3.
