Project proposal

Reading Inventory:
Today we repeat the reading inventory assessment you last took in January. Your updated scores will help us assess your reading progress. It may take you 30-45 minutes. There is no rush.

START HERE
(If you are absent don't try to take this test at home.)

Project Proposal: 
When you write a proposal you are trying to convince others (and yourself) that your project is worth doing. A proposal helps you think through all of the parts of the project. If you are working as a team, the proposal becomes a document that shows what you agreed to do.

Still have time to spare?: 
Help students in Ms. Murphy's class by taking some of their surveys. Or take this survey about Google Classroom.  Or read this newsletter from the library.

Reminders: 
Keep reading. You'll be finishing book #11 by 6/6.
Project Proposal due before class on 6/2. (Yes, I'm going to grade them.)
