Hooray! Glad to have you all back after the weekend. The next two weeks will be pretty easy – as long as you keep up. We are starting the New Best Friend assignment, which is an author research project.
Today, we chose a British author who would become our new best friend.
We are going to find at least five webpages that we could possible use for our research the rest of the project. Go through and look at the tasks that we will be doing:
- Stray Thoughts
- Action Figure
- Crazy Advice
- If They Took the Test
- ____ Ways
The Works Cited will be all the sources that you use for your research. The webpages should be bookmarked so we can create the Works Cited next week.
In class, we generated a list of terms from the instructions that may help us find significant information about the author.
- spiritual life
- biography
- financial
- interesting information
- public life
- private life
- major events
- health problems
- expert in
- relationships
- conflict
- marital status
- personal life
- education
Today, make sure you have at least five sources that you can use tomorrow. Even if you use a source that doesn’t directly address your subject but still helps give you information, cite it.
