Most students have finished their informational writing.  The students also had to give constructive feedback to a fellow author using the peer review sheet shown below.  My hope was, that then the original author would use their partner's suggestions to make improvements to their writing.

One important footnote- The students always have the opportunity to make corrections to their writing pieces and resubmit to improve their grade.  I'm proud that many students did take advantage of this learning opportunity this past week.  

Mr. Searle joined our class to teach a lesson on how to make a google slide show.  We plan to take some information from our informational writing piece to build a google slide show.  Then Mr. Searle will be back to provide tips on how to deliver an engaging presentation!  Check out the time lapse video of his visit with my PM class as we listened to a lesson and then practiced making our on slides.
