Dear Parents,
The science unit that we are currently learning about at school is Strong and Stable Structures. As part of this unit, students are asked to do a simple research project individually or with a partner at home over the next few weeks. For this assignment, students are asked to research one famous structure that they will present to the class. Included in this month’s homework are four slides with ideas of famous structures that students may select from. This research can be typed or written and placed on a large piece of bristle board.
On the back of this letter are some questions that should be addressed when researching. Students should have a mix of written work and pictures to show and present to the class. Students will receive an oral presentation mark for this assignment. Students will also be assessed on how they are as audience members. We will discuss oral presentations and what is expected here at school. Students are welcome to use cue cards to guide them through their presentation.
Presentations will be during the week of May 22-25. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you!
Ms. Juneau and Mrs. Sloan
