[LIT] successes?!

[amanda patrick]

What's the Oslis website as I'm doing research soon! Also, anyone else have any creative ideas for reserach topics? My school's curriculum mandates that we teach a research unit in November, but we can pick the topic.  Ideas...anybody??? ;-)

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?!

Take care,
