Okay, so it's been awhile . . .

It has been more difficult to keep up with this blog than I had originally anticipated, but we are starting a new unit, the Executive Summary, and so I don't see why I can't try and start the blog over again.

Right now we are writing the polls on the issues we have identified in the school or neighborhood. Remember that we need to write questions that both establish that there is a problem and test out possible solutions to the problem. Your polls should include four types of questions:

• Yes/No and True/False Questions
• Best Answer Questions
• Rank Order Questions
• Open Ended Questions

Also keep in mind that the final copies of your children's nonfiction books were due today. This is the most important grade of 3rd quarter. I look very forward to reading them!

Lastly, remember that I need your Topic Selection Contracts as soon as possible.
