When I was grading the first drafts of the projects last night, I found that many of the students were coping the text out of the book or from a website. I stop grading after 5 papers and realized that this was our first information writing project (I usually do a science project in the fall). Since it is our first informational piece I am stepping back and teaching the basic skills needed to write informational papers. Today I taught the students how to take notes from a text, then had them work on note taking in class. Tomorrow I will work with students on how we write a bibliography and show them how to use www.easybib.com/. This will delay the completion of the project. It will be due Friday January 27th.
