You had today's class period to start your research on the Unit 2 Collaborative Inquiry Projects. These projects are due on May 13th. On May 13th and 14th you will be doing 10 minute presentations on your findings. It's a really good idea to put together a KWL chart on your topic and put it on your wiki under "Planning". Please make sure you set up your wikis this weekend, and invite all group members to be administrators on the wiki, and make me an editor. I can make some suggestions for you if you let me have editing access to your wikis.
