Students in sixth grade have been reviewing the terms to prepare for the CRCT Language Arts exam which will be on Tuesday. There are so many terms, I knew it would be difficult to cover all of them in class, so tomorrow, Monday, students will be given an answer key to go with all the terms. Whatever review they are able to do at home is beneficial.

Your note cards should have notes from a minimum of three sources. One book, one internet article, and any other of your choice. Your note cards will be due next Wednesday, March 7.

As a reminder, step one: make a bibliography card with the citation information from each of your sources. Be sure to number the bib cards. The note cards from each source should be numbered according to the number on the bib card. Step two: Determine what your questions will be and label each card according to those question words. Example: Who, what, where, etc. Step three: Notes should be words and/or phrases not complete sentences. This takes away the temptation to copy the exact sentences into your own paper.
