Investigators Homework
Week of 5-10-10
As a third grader, you are expected to complete 30 minutes of homework each day. Listed below are this week’s assignments. The starred (shown in red online) are the priority assignments for each subject area. Additional assignments listed in each subject area are to be worked on as time permits. Working diligently for 30 minutes each day, you may not complete every assignment, so start with the starred assignments and include the other assignments as you have time.
Special Homework
KC project Part II
At this time you should have completed the first draft of your Kansas City project. At school on Friday we all edited each others work and gave each other ideas on improvement. This week you should focus on refining and polishing your draft. On THURSDAY, we will go over these newly written drafts. They should be quite close to your final draft.
Your draft should have:
-
An introduction paragraph that tells about your topic in broad terms and says why you chose it.
-
3- 6 paragraphs about individual topics.
-
A conclusion paragraph that summarizes and brings all of your topics together.
-
They can be typed or written in print or cursive. (final will be either typed or in cursive)
In addition, you may begin working on how you are going to present your information on the 21st. This will be separate from your written report. You have a lot of freedom and choices here. It might be artwork, a video, an audio recording, a PowerPoint, a poster with facts, or an interview with an expert. It should be supplemental to your written report.
