Facing West Post Test Project-Letter Home
Dear Parents,
For our first Oregon Trail novel, the students will be creating a project for their post test instead of just writing a paper to show their understanding of the book. Each project has a written component, where the students will explain what they have created, and so on.
We went over the 7 options this morning in class and they had time to use the graphic organizer sheet to help them plan out their project. I asked that they think about what they wanted to do and to start gathering materials for whatever option they decided on.
The students will be able to work on their project in class on Tuesday, March 15th. However, the majority of this assignment should be done as homework. The due date is Friday, March 18th. On that day, each student will present their project to the class. Just like any post test, this project is meant to be independent. You are welcome to help your child gather supplies, but please allow them to create, build, draw, write, etc. on their own.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Have a great weekend,
DeDe Marron
