Good Morning!

Hey Everyone…I am so sorry that I am not there to hear all your presentations.  I really want to be there to see all your hard work, so I hope you don’t mind putting off the presentation part until I return.  In the meantime, make sure they are up on Teams!

*Indian Horse:  Novel ending and Movie:  Please read aloud the last couple chapters of our Novel “Indian Horse”.  I would love it if you could also finish the movie….

Synthesis Essays:  You are going to start to write synthesis essays.  Please don’t panic about a deadline as we can collaborate a date upon my return.  It will be sometime next week as writing is a process.

  1.  Your Synthesis Essay Topic is the Inquiry Question you personally explored for your Inquiry Projects.
  2. Your resources are the sources you used and explored to complete your Inquiry Project.  You must use a minimum of THREE of these sources of the eight you explored in total.
  3. You will be assessed on the “making connections” rubric (6 point scale) that we looked at earlier in the semester.

*Please read through the document below on Synthesis Writing.  It will shed some light on how to write your essay.  I wish I was there to go through and explain it!
