IRP

Fifth graders began working on a "mini-research project" entitled The Important Revolutionary Period Person Project.  Each fifth grader began by writing their own questions that they hope to find answers to.  Students have two weeks (ten minutes a night) to work on finding out what made the particular person they chose important in this time period.  Students were given websites to search.  In ELA they will learn how to make a bibliography, following MLA format.  Before the February break students will present their findings to the class.  Rubrics and a research packet went home today.
