Parents and Guardians,
Our final assignment in our Space unit as been set upon us. Today, everyone was instructed to write an essay about their own planet! The catch : they have to work with a partner! Our students will be working independently on a laptop, however they will be taking turns writing with their partner. Our students will be collaborating on their paper using Google Documents, allowing them to access this paper and modify it in real time with other people!
In their essay, they have to tell me about all the characteristics of their planet, such as its atmosphere, orbit pattern, what life exists on it, etc. The overall object of their essay is to sell it as a travel destination, and be as factually appriopriate as possible. This will display the synthesis and application of the knowledge they learned within our whole space unit.
Students will continue working on this essay in class for the next two days. They will be crafting two rough drafts and one final draft. The final drafts will be read to the whole class.
It would be greatly apprecitated if you can encourage your children to think creatively. Also, ask your child to demonstrate how to access their essay on GoogleDocs. Have them share their progress this far with you!
Remember, the sky's the limit!
Thanks for your support :)
