#1 The Disaster Research worksheet is DUE 3/7/2011, an individual grade worth 100 points with no revisits or incompletes given. If students coordinate with their group members each student only researches the answer to 4/16 questions and group members can exchange answers to complete all 16 questions. I advised students to use the internet citation template (not for a grade) to help them collect source information for text notes and the group Works Cited Page. The research worksheet is due for ALL classes; an electronic copy of the research can be turned into my Teacher Desk Inbox or a print out of the research can be turned into the Inbox in my classroom. Grades are based on the percentage of questions that are answered based on student research. There will be no revisit or option to earn more points; make the hard deadline, these points count in Humanities and Science. Electronic copies of the research (preferred) are due to my Teacherdesk InBox by 12:45PM; my OutBox has a document describing how to submit work electronically. Hard copies of research are due to my classroom InBox by 12:45PM
#2 Introduction to ND Rough Draft is due by 1PM on 3/9/2011, a group grade worth 50 points with chances to revisit. ND groups will decide on one or two students that will be responsible for authoring the introduction essay on disaster mechanics, details about the specific disaster and the energy transfer in the disaster. Students must use details from their research with text notes identifying the source for the details to construct the essay. Information from the essay will then be bulleted on the final product and be referenced during the final presentation.
Expect more ND information to be posted, the project ends ~16th of March.
