The slide project is looking great. Students are also doing great at using their pre-reading strategies!

Due Tuesday, February 8th One Page Presentation - Computer use suggested

Each student was assigned a concept from Chapter 5, China.  Make a one-page presentation about your concept, sharing the most important information. Search for artwork that enhances (but does not overwhelm) your concept. For example, if your concept is "Importance of the Family," use a picture of a Chinese family. Write a few lines sharing information about the importance of family (in China) on your paper. Use 81/2 x 11 computer paper only. Protect your document from wrinkle and do not fold it in any way. We are making a "book."

If your child was absent today, please e-mail me at hubbardl@duvalschools.org , or call me at home in the evening. I have no message machine, so you'll have to catch me when I'm there.
