Report Writing - due Tuesday March 4th

On Thursday, we will be starting our Report Writing unit.  Each student will be randomly assigned a Prime Minister (grade 5) or an Explorer (grade 6) to research.  We have discussed research skills and the students should be comfortable using a variety of reliable sources to find information.  Students will receive an outline detailing all expectations, name of Prime Minister/Explorer and due date.  

Expectations

  • your Prime Minister/Explorer must be clearly identified, including full name and time of office/exploration
  • you must include a detailed summary of your Prime Minister/Explorers history
  • you need to include details regarding personal life, place and date of birth, place and date of death, where they lived, etc.
  • you must also include some interesting facts or accomplishments
  • you must include a picture of your Prime Minister/Explorer
  • any additional information that you feel will be of interest ("fun facts")
  • you must ensure all your information is accurate and complete and reference all sources used

Grade 5:  Prime Ministers - information will be presented on a bristol board (poster)

Grade 6: Explorers - information can be presented either on a bristol board (poster) or on-line presentation
