Writing

Tentative Schedule for Report Writing Please keep in mind that the schedule is not set in stone. I may bump up or push back dates depending on student understanding. This is a schedule we discussed as a class. Below are two pdfs that explain the way we grade your child's writing. The first is the 6 Traits Writing Rubric, and the second is a conversion table that explains how we get a grade out of a 6 Traits score.
 * 11/30 Research plan due.
 * 12/3 All notes due. Students will be given time in class to conduct research in both the computer lab and media center throughout the week.
 * 12/7 Flee Map (plan) is due.
 * 12/13 Rough draft of report is due.
 * 12/15 Editing and revision paperwork due.
 * 12/17 Final draft due.
