In class today we discussed student progress towards 20 Isearch notes and finishing StarGirl this week by Friday.
In Core One, 12 of 20 students felt that it would be no problem for them to finish. Two students felt that it would be impossible to finish by Friday. As I did last week, I recorded where students were with each assignment, IS number of notes and SG chapter completed. From this is seems that seven students may have a difficult time completing their notes by Friday.
Just like last week, I am giving one extra point for each assignment for those students that will be finished and have 20 notes and all SG chapter notes completed at the beginning of class on Friday. Students that do not have both will not receive any extra points, but will not be penalized if they show me their work next Wednesday (I will be with Mr. Utic and Supt. Pitts on Tuesday).
Several students chose a strategy of finishing reading the 50 pages in StarGirl and completing chapter notes on Monday and Tuesday night, and then working on Isearch notes Wednesday and Thursday night.
We then discussed some issues that students were having taking IS notes and doing research in general. Students offered suggestions on some of these problems. Below is a list of issues and suggestions that students generated in each class.
