IN CLASS:
Today we got the ball rolling on our champion projects. Students each received a yellow packet of information from me today about the project including instructions for using NoodleTools, task and time line information for the project, formatting information for the upcoming paper, and warning information about the dangers of plagiarism.
We then went to the media center and spent some time working with NoodleTools and searching for information. I set up some helpful links to the right that your student may need for this project. If they want to use the online encyclopaedia from the LMC webpage, they will need the username and password listed on the green sheet Mr. Holmbeck gave them last Tuesday. I have more of those available or you can email me for it, but I cannot post the password on my blog.
Here's the basic time line for the project. To download the entire packet, click here.
