Biography Report UPDATE

In reading, we will be jumping right into learning how to take notes the Monday after Thanksgiving. I will model for students what they need using Thomas Edison. The students will be allowed to use notecards during their speech, so memorization of material is not necessary. I would like to be ready to present these the week of December 7th, keeping flexibility in mind of course. A note will be sent home that first week after I see how things progress.
Thanks,
Mrs. Neal
