Day 9: Wednesday February 19th
Forecasting w/ Ms. Wasiak
Additional time, please work on your Black History research project as follows:
The rough criteria sheet at this point says you need at least 3 reflection/higher level questions about your topic.
Today (Wednesday 2/19/20) I would like you to work on coming up with your questions. Please work together, share ideas, and bounce possibilities off each other. Remember, these are not questions that could be answered in a sentence or two, they should require a greater explanation and deeper thought.
Create a Google Doc with your topic at the top and your questions underneath. Type them up even if you aren't sure they were what I had in mind. I will give you feedback.
Once you have created a few questions, think about what the answers might be. Do you already know enough about your topic to answer them? Do you need to do more research? Will the answers be found in sources you already have, or do you need to look in new places? Please use your time productively.Next dates to work on this project:
