Select and Collect Biography Information


Today in computer lab students will be selecting their subject for our biography writing unit.  We will be printing  out the raw information they collect.  Students need to get approval for their choice before printing out the raw research information.

By the end of this period students should have:
  • Selected the subject of their biography and filled out the biography form. (Here)
  • Gotten teacher approval for the subject of their biography.
  • Printed out raw research information from biography.com.
  • Allowed their lab partner to do the same
If your computer isn't printing, work on one which is.  If there are no more, then wait for one of the computers that is printing to finish, and switch computers with that group.  While you are waiting get all the non-printing steps done for both you and your partner.
