Dear Parents:
As listed on the class calendar, the Independent Research project begins this week.
This week each student will receive a packet that includes: Project Planner, Timeline and Checklist sheet, the Primary Resources Log sheet and the Self- Reflection sheet. We will discuss each and establish due dates. *
Next week, December 7 - 11, students will choose a topic, generate a research question or two and begin the actual research. As we are using the Talents Unlimited Decision - Making Talent to choose our topics, once chosen it cannot be changed. Also, as this is a learning opportunity, students are expected to generate a new project (Please refrain from reusing an existing project.), do as much of the research and product on their own and adhere to the due dates.
Students will have time in class to work on the project and may come to my class, as allowed by the classroom teacher, during my consultative service hours to seek assistance or work on the project.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

*I had planned to have the projects due before Christmas break, but looking at all that is scheduled school - wide, I think the most reasonable dates for completion would be the week of January 11- 15. I have uploaded a copy of the packet with specific dates for each component on the blog site.
