After conducting extensive research for eight weeks, students have compiled information into an essay, an oral presentation and a visual display. They began by learning how to research appropriately using a variety of sources. They also learned the skills of note-taking, outlining, drafting, revising, and editing. Students then assembled a display at school, as well as prepared a five-minute speech for the judges and their classmates. The students will present their displays and give their oral presentations to a panel of judges. Awards are presented to the students who rate as Outstanding, 1st place, 2nd place, and Honorable Mention. The displays will be open to school families at 7 p.m. Details, (847) 623-8446.
