I wanted to update parents on our Wander Indiana project.  We have been working hard on it in class, but somehow we have gotten behind the due dates.  I appreciate the hard work students are putting in to each piece of the project so here are the updated due dates:

Travel Report (p.5-6)                        Due FRIDAY, April 25, 2014.

We are working on this in class now.  Students will be given additional time in class on Wednesday and Thursday.  If it is not complete it will be homework on Friday.

Visual Plan (p. 7)                              Due FRIDAY, May 2, 2014.

This page will be handed out in class on Friday and should be completed at home with assistance from parents.

Visual/Presentation (Rubric pp. 8-9)            Projects Due MONDAY, May 19
Due to time constraints this due date can not change. Please review expectations and help your child prepare and practice for their presentation.  This is a big deal!  It is also an opportunity for students to shine in front of their peers.  Please encourage your child's success.  The SCORING RUBRIC is available to guide the presentation. 

If you would like to check on your child's progress, ask them the following questions:

What site did you choose to research? (They should not respond with a website, but an actualy place they are researching.)
Why are you interested in this site?
Are you typing your letter yet? (Their rough draft must be approved befor typing, but the majoritey of students began typing today.)
