We are starting the last 9 weeks so they are doing research projects. I told them they are going to teach my class the last week before finals, so they have to do a research project. They made lists of 10 ideas and I've discussed which ones they want to do one-on-one, so hopefully they will be more motivated..... _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
