Task: As you come into class, please pick up the "Foundations Investigation" from the podium. After I assign your research topic for question 24, we'll head down to the library for instruction from Mrs. Sams.
As you complete the "Foundations Investigation" please consider:
- All work should be your OWN - this is NOT a collaborative activity and answers should be provided in your own words!
- Be sure to read and follow directions. If anything is unclear, ask or e-mail Mrs. Friday.
- Responses to questions 24 to 26 must be posted in NoodleTools and shared with Mrs. Friday.
- Dropbox - "CPWC Foundations Investigation (Spring 15)"
- For question 24, you will find and evaluate a news story and a reference source about one of the following current events topics:
