Welcome back from a looooong weekend!

This week Ms. Jury and I are introducing our FINAL big project of the year--and it is SUPER exciting! From now until almost the very end of the school year, each student will be working individually or with a partner on an project relating to the Civil War. During our work on this project, students will be expected to achieve small steps/goals each day in class. He/she will also be filling out weekly self-evaluations. A big part of this project is developing the ability to break down a large task into lots of little, manageable tasks. Another key feature is that each student will be CHOOSING his/her area of focus for the project, AND choosing the format of the final project itself. I am super eager to start this project!
