Monday 8 February

1st and 3rd Hour
We began the hour with a Freewrite

The options for writing are
  • Should political/religious/public service type commercials be allowed during the SuperBowl? or 
  • What would be an appropriate punishment for someone who could throw an 8 month old baby into a river?
  • or You may write about whatever you want to write about. 
We had Mini-Lesson 8 about Citing Websites and Evaluating the website for good research. 
The students were then given a worksheet to help them collect the necessary information they need for citing from the websites they are planning to use in their papers.




This link will allow you to print the worksheet. Website organizer
