5.2: Home Front (9)
   Finished Learning Activity: Using pages 793-799 in your textbook to create a comic of the terms found in yesterday's blog post

    Assigned and worked on 5.2 Product sheet (Due Tomorrow)


Project:

Used iPads to get the required one internet source for the note-taking portion of the project.

Suggestions from Mr. M:

  • Make sure they are NOTES... not complete sentences (they take too long)
  • Make sure to get all Bibliography information
  • Watch videos about your battle if you want (as a second internet source, not your only one....)
  • If you find a book that has been scanned and placed online, go ahead and use it as one of you Book sources.
