Did you get the calendar of due dates through Winter Break???

  1. Check off, but don’t collect, the students who have completed 10 note cards (that was their homework) next to the names on the roster,
  2. Handout the Sample SOL test from 2002 (a student sample research paper). Students are to complete this test, answering on a piece of notebook paper.
    15-20 minutes

Give the Research Quiz (click comments to see). Students should use their note cards and notebooks on this.
25 minutes.

  1. Students are to go to the library for the remainder of the block. By the end of the block they must show you, or one of the librarians, that they have a source card for a Book and one other source (it could be a magazine, another book, an online source, or something from Thompson Gale).
  2. Their Homework Assignment: Complete 15 more note cards and 2 source cards by next class, that makes 25 note cards and 5 source cards total.

“EFFECT” if it talks about what happens because of your problem.

Staple Note Cards to this quiz and submit.
