Hi! So my own school is nearing midterm, and I find myself looking at my students and thinking "How are they doing?" That led me to wonder - at this early stage of the year, what are some of your successes?
In my own class, I succeeded in getting bibliographies from all but one of my students on the date their first project was due. All but two are even in the correct format! I gave them a minilesson on using the OSLIS website, showed them a sample project complete with two-page bibliography, and every time I showed them a website image in class as a OneNote or PowerPoint presentation, I included a full citation. I'm guessing all that modeling must have helped. This gives me a strong base for the rest of the year - I can work one-on-one with those three kids, and get the others extra time for actual project work. "Yippee!" as one of my kids would say. And yourselves?!
