Tips for Google Docs

When reviewing your Short Research assignments, click on File and tab down to "See revision history."

Here, you can see what editing I have done to your work. It might be a formatting change, or a slight wording change, verb tense change, or some other correction.

Below your work, I've inscribed notes about your assignment and a rubric containing your score for the assignment.

I will post grades as I get through these assignments. As soon as all speeches have been given, I will get those in as well.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving Break. :)

Help your students earn LOTS of great prizes by entering them
in Stossel in the Classroom's essay contest, for students aged

ESSAY TOPIC: In his Fox News hour, "Myths, Lies, and Complete
Stupidity," John Stossel takes a critical look at food
regulations designed to encourage people to make healthier food
choices. Should it be government's job to try to keep people
healthy? Why or why not? Please write a 500-1000 word essay on
this topic. You must include at least one reference from John
Stossel's "Myths, Lies, and Complete Stupidity" TV special or
his recent book, No They Can't.

125 students will receive CASH PRIZES totaling $15,500.

1st and 2nd place students will also win an all-expense-paid
trip to New York City for themselves, a chaperone, and the
teachers who submit their essays to see a live taping of STOSSEL.

Teachers whose students receive at least an honorable mention
will receive an autographed copy of one of John Stossel's best-
selling books.

Each teacher may submit an unlimited number of student essays
(500-1000 words) on our web site between now and the Feb. 14th
deadline.
