This week we will be working in collaboration with Dr. Haring in ELA for our next research project.
Our time together in the library will involve asking research questions and finding the information necessary to answer them.
If you are working from home this week, you will need to go to your ELA class in Google Classroom for all materials and expectations. You can also email Dr. Haring or myself for clarification if needed.
