Our first ALP (Advance Learning Project) will begin this week. Students will be learning about Scientists, Inventors & Innovators. Our class will be learning about the array of careers within the STEAM field and specifically studying Benjamin Franklin together and completing a short biography on him and his scientific contributions. This will provide students the framework for completing a short biography on a scientist, inventor or innovator of their choice. We will have all needed resources, at appropriate reading levels, available in the classroom. The project will be completed in class, however, students are welcome to obtain additional research materials on their own after the topics have been chosen and approved. On Wednesday the ALP will be introduced and students will learn about the available options. The list (available below and to be distributed in class tomorrow) includes 36 men and woman who made significant advances in their fields. Some names will be very familiar, while others are less known. Please discuss the list and guide your child to making their top 3 choices. Students need to submit their choices no later than Tuesday, September 13. Students were ALL punctual about turning in their top 3 choices and everyone was assigned a Scientist, Inventor or Innovator! Books and PROJECT REQUIREMENTS will be distributed to students on Thursday. This will also include a template for TAKING NOTES, VOCABULARY & DEFINITIONS and the GRADING RUBRIC.
