A Day- Fishbowl Exercise
Share your rough draft of your persuasive component of your research project in small groups. We will follow the following format: 3 minutes - Share your project draft. 4 minutes - Clarifying Interview (Group members ask questions of the author.) 2 minutes - Author moves outside the group to listen. Group discusses strengths and weaknesses. What improvements can be made?

Work on revising drafts and on the next component (informational or creative). You may want to visit my page titled "Everything You Need to Know About the Multi-Genre Research Project."

B Day- Work Day
I am in the media center participating in the "Big Push for Literacy" Review Day for Juniors. We will do the fishbowl activity from above next time.

Today you need to work on your multi-genre research project. You will probably want to visit the page titled "Everything You Need to Know About the Multi-Genre Research Project."
