State Report - The Finish Line

State Reports - Written components are due ...THIS  FRIDAY -19th
(Whether you are finished or not, you must hand in your report Friday.)

Use this week to do your very best work. You are not being graded on what you did a month ago. You are being graded on your finished product. Don't rush through components this week just to get it finished. Make sure you are giving your very best effort over these last few days and truly thinking about how to make EVERY sentence the best possible. People who finish ahead of time may want to take a second look at their cover pages. The most important stage of the Report is the proof reading and editing. Make sure one component smoothly transitions to the next. You will probably have to add a few additional sentences at the start of your second and third components to achieve this. DO NOT inset pictures until the work is completely edited and corrected. This will avoid wasting ink.  You have all worked very hard on this project. Make sure your final copy is something that you are truly proud to submit.

Coming Tuesday - Living Wax Museum Guidelines

Congratulations on the '50 States and Capitals' Test- A record number of 100% were recorded this year.

McCarthy

Unknown said...

no highlighting of GRAAB- just make sure you use them

no p2 in historical. it is a narrative

McCarthy - yes

JACKSONH said...

mr b

Im still on my power plan for my 3rd component.
am i behind?

Unknown said...

how would we make it flow after every component

Unknown said...

read it Sabrina... if it reads like a book and there is a logial transition from one component to the next then you are fine. If it doesn't flow into the next component. you need to add some sentences to make it flow

yes Jackson .. you should be on your conclusion by end of day tue

do you check our conclusion like our rough drafts

Sarah N. said...

Rocks are very superior when it comes to natural resources especially in Arkansas. Bauxite is a very common in Arkansas because it is the state rock. Additionally, Coal states an importance in Arkansas also. Frag-mental rock, a sand-like rock, is also found in Arkansas. Moreover, Quartz is the most famous mineral in Arkansas. On the other hand, Dolomite is an attractive pink rock found in underground Arkansas. Diamonds are also well known in this state.

Will you guys just make corrections on it if possible.
Mr. B already ok it but i just want to have a few extra corrections

Thanks,
Sarah

















PS...

Sarah N. said...

never mind

JACKSONH said...

Sarah N. said...

ok

thanks

Trees are beautiful, but also can be used as wood, paper, and varieties of other needs. The Royal Empress tree grows up to 12 ft high, and although this is a pretty tree it is used for excellent wood! Additionally, Summer Red Maple trees are red and they grow very fast. These are used for wood also. Moreover, Autumn Cherry Trees bloom in the spring and fall and make paper well. On the other hand, Tulip Poplars have full yellow blooms and are great for shade. The Weeping Willow is easy to grow and grows fast. Another tree is the Muskogee Crape, these trees have flowers for 120 days, and they have lavender blooms. The Autumn Purple Ash tree has long lasting orange, red, and purple leaves.


How about this one????????????

JACKSONH said...

Sarah,
is that trees?
if it is, that is good.

If it is forests, you should add more things.

JACKSONH said...

Like animals or trails.

Mr. Buxton for our title of the whole continuous document thing do we just do like....
New York
"The Empire State"
I'm still confused.
Abigail

Juliana said...

Abigail, I think you head it by:

New York

Power 0

Because on your cover or title page( I get mixed up) you put

New York
By: Abbie
winter 2010

and on your cover you have the nickname.

Juli

For the 3D thing how big is it supposed to be. In the directions it says 30cm x 20cm and that is really small. Is it a typo? Just need to know.
Abigail

Unknown said...

Unknown said...

Unknown said...

you cant go to the computer lab in the morning beacause she wont be there all week in the morning until thursday morning and she has to check it but i think you can go during humanities if she isnt teaching a class or about to

Maddie Weber said...

Mr.B,
I was doing some more research on Wikipedia about my history component for some things you said for me to add, and 180 max. people died, so would you consider that a major loss for Kansas?

Maddie

Maddie Weber said...

I mean big enough for it to be remembered in History?

Sarah,
u may not want to use "although" b4 "this is a pretty tree" because that wood ( wood! get it?!) be all the more reason to use it for a kitchen table or wood floors, unless u mean the tree from the outside while it is still living is pretty, well that is different. U prob. want to be more clear...

Maddie

Maddie Weber said...

and sarah... trees dont make paper well. people make paper as a product. I am not sure if well is the right word to describe how paper is made by trees

hope this helps :)

Maddie Weber said...

Sarah,
Are Tulip Poplars flowers, because they sort of sound like they are because of the name and how u discribed them. Also, u could use some more uses for all those trees u listed.

Ex. are tulip poplar tree flowers used for bouquets or center pieces.

u could say how they effect the citizens

Maddie Weber said...

Sarah,
alot of times what helps me describe things is by going on google images, searching the thing u want to describe, look at it, notice details, and write what u would see if u were standing right there b4 the thing u are describing

hope this helps!!!!!!!

Maddie
(great 4 hooks + b there statements)

Maddie Weber said...

Should we start thinking about the living wax museum thing because I don't know what you are talking about?

Maddie Weber said...

Mr.B,

Maddie

Unknown said...

Maddie Weber said...

Sarah N. said...

THANKS SO MUCH,

Maddie Weber said...

I know I am behind... and Mr.B said that when I wrote my third component that I didn't have enough facts and so I am editing that now, so about how many facts should we have for the history component???

Thanks,
Maddie

Unknown said...
