October 26 Update

Broadcasting underway!

We've started working on our broadcast news presentations, even as we continue our research into ancient cultures. Groups are each responsible for a news show that includes anchors who introduce topics and provide transitions and necessary background information, 3 news events stories from ancient times, a "weather" report that answers the first part of the big question of the project (how does climate affect human societies), and integrating their speeches into the show.

Students finished first drafts of speeches last week and next week we will work on choosing excerpts from those speeches to include in our news shows.

Groups will present these to parents on Tuesday, November 13. We will run from 12:55 - 1:30, or you can come earlier to see Greg's group present as well. We hope to see you there!
