Biographies - Grade 8
In January Mr. Ethier's eighth grade class conducted research on famous Americans. Their biography choices ranged from President Madison to Jackie Robinson to Elvis Presley - an interesting mix of people! The students utilized books, websites, Scholastic Go! and various databases through iConn. If you are not familiar with iConn. Click the link at the top of this page. Any Connecticut resident can use iConn. There is a wealth of information!
Which Leader Would You Want to Live Under?
That's the question Mrs. Buyak's class is answering as we research strong leaders (mostly Egyptians but also some current leaders). Students have used websites and learned how to evaluate a website for currency, reliability, accuracy and point of view. They also used a few databases on iConn and Go Scholastic! They are using their note taking skills to create a PowerPoint which will be presented to the class.
