Week 14: Inspiration

The book we have begun, We Beat the Street, is based on overcoming obstacles and the people or events that helped them achieve their goals.

Share some people or events that have contributed to your life: helped you, taught you, led you, inspired you. You can decide how personal you want to be!

Week 13: Independent Research

Generate a list of ideas that people might want to research for their independent research papers. Keep in mind that your paper should be about three pages!

Week 12: Nonfiction Rules!

So, how are you enjoying reading nonfiction? Is it what you expected? What do you like or dislike about it?

Week 9: Winterdance Research

It's time! As you did for The Glass Castle, list some ideas related to Winterdance that you could use for a research project.

Week 7: Interactive Survey

Now that you have the Iditarod survey based on http://www.iditarod.com/, see if you can help each other fill it out. You may not copy and paste the information from the website in big chunks. Instead, see if you can communicate how to divvy up the questions, decide who will answer what, and determine how to find what is needed. Help each other navigate the site. If someone is stuck, s/he should ask for help.

Since I expect this to be more interactive with perhaps more frequent entries, you should aim for FIVE entries this week!
