Science: Students received individual feedback on the research they have done so far (5 days in class!) and some suggestions on what they still need to work on. They need to bring all of this info with them to language arts tomorrow! We then discussed different citation/formatting styles (MLA, APA, ASA, Chicago Style, Oh My!), we are using MLA for this paper with Language Arts, as well as how to properly cite a video. We then watched a portion of Powering The Future: The Green Revolution from The Science Channel and students took notes that can be used in their research paper. We will finish this video tomorrow and potentially watch a few others. On  Friday we will wrap up the science portion of this project by discussing other formatting guidelines (in-text citations and Works Cited pages using MLA). 

ELA - Students corrected their Grammar 6.2 and we moved on to 6.3-6.4 Conjunctions and Interjections (yes, of course we watched Schoolhouse Rock for both). Rewrites should be done tomorrow if not by Friday. Most have received theirs back. This will help them with their argument writing in the future. Be sure to have all research and worksheets from Science in ELA tomorrow, we will be starting our Position Paper. Homework: Grammar 6.3-6.4, Journal Entry #2.42, and READ.

Geometry: We CRUISED through section 4.3 on similarity, no homework. 4.1-4.3 quiz on Friday.
