Next Journal/Personal Development
Due Date ~ Remember: Journals may be about activities
that occurred in class, or interesting things about History that you
want to discuss. They may also be about personal concerns, if you
so choose. (All Journals are considered confidential between just
you and me.) PDE's are essays on a particular topic that I will
assign during the Quarter.
The
final due date for Journals (4) is on May 16th for Seniors and May 23rd
for Sophomores and Juniors. PDE's (1 for Juniors and Seniors, 2
for Sophomores) will be due
the same day. The final topic for all groups is to reflect on
your first PDE of the year - how well did you follow your plan to make
this your best school year ever?

I-Search Projects
~ Miniprojects are due each 9-weeks. They are short
presentations to your class on a person, place, or occurrence in
History that you find interesting. Generally, they should refer
to information we are covering at the time, but may also address major
issues that need to be discussed. Sophomore
mini-projects for this 9-weeks will be based on the WOWI. Juniors will have miniprojects as usual, and
Seniors as assigned. May 15th will be the absolutely last day for
presentations.

Another on-line course that is self-paced. Begin with the worksheet page,
and proceed to answer the questions you choose from it. If you are
working on a Fall Sport, you need to begin the process before you start practices. e-mail me or meet at school so we can discuss what you've done and where you're going. Course
