Please Read Carefully

This week students will choose their state to research--see Big Highlights below!

This week students will need to find at least 3 sources for their state research report. One source must be a print source:

1. Books

2. Magazines

3. Newspapers

4. Travel Brochures

5. Encyclopedias-Grolier's is linked on the OLS landing page.

Unit 17 has been deliberately planned out of order so students will complete the grammar lessons and assessment prior to the close of Quarter 3. Your daily/weekly planned has been updated to reflect the changes in the chart below.
