On the " tree map" diagram students drew in their ELA notebooks, students should list THREE SUBTOPICS they will be researching and reporting on next week. Students must then list FIVE WORDS (not sentences) under each subtopic that will be used in explaining that subtopic. Finally, students are to write each of these words and their meaning on the back of the paper. That will make a total of 15 words with their.definitions related to their assigned topic. Work is due Wed. 11/12.
