Science: All students: Continue your Food Web project.  Food Webs are due on Monday at the beginning of class.  If you are presenting your Energy Proposal on Wednesday afternoon: send your Prezi or PowerPoint to Ms. Midkiff TODAY.  Practice your proposal so that you will be ready for your presentation on Wednesday.  You will give your proposal to your science class on Monday - be ready!

Parents:  Please mark your calendars for our P.O.L. (Presentation of Learning) afternoon which is on Wednesday, February 6th from 3:30 - 4:45 at Voyager.  We are expecting 100% participation at this event.  Your children have worked very hard over the last semester to produce some amazing products and we want you to see their work!  

If your child is unable to participate due to pre-scheduled events or sickness, please e-mail your child's homeroom teacher as soon as possible.

We look forward to seeing you on the 6th!!

 Citing Sources – Legacy Project

Reminders about citing sources:

1)      Evaluate if the site is valid.  Verify information from another source if necessary.

2)      You need at least three different sources for this project.

3)      A source should be listed only if you end up using the information from that source.

4)      Use the footnotes on Wikipedia to determine the specific source of each fact.  (Remember, Wikipedia is a collection of data and information, not a source itself)

When you list your sources, include:

-       The specific web address

-       Name of article

-       Author of article

-       Date published

-       Book title, author, date published and publisher (for a book)
