***RUBRICS must be turned in with each component of the research project. ALL students were given file folders with all important information and rubrics!***


****Just to clarify several points about the Country Report Research Project. The notes pages do NOT need to be typed. They are pages that students were able to use to gather information and keep it all in one place. At the end of September, all students were given a file folder with ALL country report information, including directions and rubrics for each part. If you have any questions, please see the link on the left for Country Report Information. The finished, TYPED country research report is due March 11, 2015. Students are reminded of this daily and encouraged to see me if there is a problem with typing the report. If I know of an issue, I am more than willing to help find a reasonable solution!!!
