***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!!!

As many of you know, we spent last week discussing and reviewing the components of the country research report.  All students were given folders with all of the information for each component as well as rubrics for each assignment.  The parent signature page is due today, however, I will still accept these forms tomorrow as I did not have it posted on my homework helpline!  I apologize for any inconvenience.
I am also in the process of uploading the project rubrics with the correct dates on them.  They should all be posted by Friday.
Partner forms will be sent home tomorrow and due next Wednesday, October 15, 2014.
