Laptop Assignment 4/19/10

Hey 4th Graders!

In addition to the book resources that you've been using, you can also share ONE computer with your partner to do research.

For the hurricane/tornado research project, use the links under the following folders on portaportal:
Science > Weather > Hurricanes
Science > Weather > Tornadoes

REMEMBER: You poster needs to include (1) how hurricanes and tornadoes form, and (2) where they usually occur. Add as many other fun facts as you would like. Illustrations are a must!

When you are done with the final draft of your hurricane/tornado poster, you can begin work on your Civil Rights 3-2-1 exploratory graphic organizer (3 facts, 2 questions, 1 quote). There are books for your to explore on top of the laptop cart. You may also use the links in the following folders on portaportal:
Virginia Studies > VA: Civil Rights

Have fun, satisfy your curiosity, and expand your minds!
