Objectives: 21 January

What to do when class starts:
  • Read the information you found yesterday and from your independent research at home. As you read, decide what is important information for your paper. Mark it clearly by underlining or highlighting (I will provide highlighters for you).
  • If there are gaps in your information, start making a list of questions. These ideas will help guide your time in the Media Center tomorrow.
Reminder: Vocab Test on Lessons 4-6 Tuesday, February 2!


Thought for the day:
I was thinking of you, freshmen, when I saw the graphic at the top of this blog post about what makes cars have that "new car smell." This blog, Learn Something New Every Day, seems like an interesting one to follow, although the author makes no claims that every topic is completely accurate (especially since some of his posts use Wikipedia as a source). Maybe you can point out the gaps in this guy's knowledge, or at least impress your friends and parents with your seemingly endless supply of random facts.   :)
