Social Studies Project

Parents,

The following letter is a letter that I emailed to you about the social studies project. I also sent a hard copy home with your child.

Remember that:
--Presentations are due Thursday, November 18th
--Research papers are due Friday, November 19th
--We made outlines for the research papers in class so the students shouldn't have too much left to do on those.
--Research papers must be typed. If you can't print it, just email it to me or bring it on a CD or flash drive.

Thanks for your help and please let me know if you have questions or concerns!

Here's the letter that was sent home:

Parents,

Student Presentations will begin on Thursday, November 18^th- Friday, November 19^th.  Students will only have their presentations to work on and a light spelling activity for their homework next week.  Their presentation should be about 2-5 minutes long (I will cut off the presentation at 5 minutes, so make sure it’s not longer than that).  Please let me know ahead of time if resources (Laptop, TV, VHS player, etc.) are needed.

-Just a reminder of some possible ideas:

1.       Dress up like the god or goddess and talk to the class like you are them.

2.     Make a poster of facts and pictures that you can show and talk about to the class.

3.     Make a play about the god or goddess.

4.     Create a Power Point (we have projectors at school that can be used to show the Power Point but you have to let me know ahead of time).

I will not be scheduling specific times for presentations. If you would like to come see your child’s presentation, you need to let me know so that I wait to do your child’s presentation. Then you’ll just show up during presentation times. When you step through the door, I’ll have your child go next.

Presentation times:

          Thursday, Nov. 18^th 1:20-2:00, 2:15-3:05

          Friday Nov. 19^th 12:30-1:15, 2:30-until we finish.

Please remind your child to be prepared and ready to go on Thursday. Points will be deducted for presentations that are not done.

Research papers are due Friday, Nov. 19^th. These will be collected separately and are NOT a part of the student presenations.

Don’t hesitate to email me if you have any questions or concerns. I check my email several times a day. And thanks again for all of your support and help!
