Happy snow day #2! Hopefully, you are using this time to do some biology....

You will still have a library period on Monday. The intent of that period is to get help with referencing, structuring your report, or typing up your good copy. So, by Monday's class, you should NOT still be doing research on your topic. Remember that Ebsco Host can be accessed from the school website and google books and google images from google (google images will give you an illustration of your molecule). If you haven't already created an outline for your report, this should be done now. You may want to think of this as a 5 paragraph information report. You have practiced this type of writing in other classes and on the grade 10 literacy test (remember???). It's OK to insert pictures in your report, just be sure to reference them. Also, be sure to show me a couple of "in-text citations" so I know that you know how to do this. Your list of reference should be alphabetized by author's last name and comes at the end of your report. You can use the link on the blog to citationmachine.net to help you with APA style of referencing. Please feel free to write me by posting a comment to this post. It will go to my e-mail and I can respond to your comment through the blog. Or, you can provide me your e-mail address in your comment and I can write to you directly.
Finally, we will finish (once and for all!) the 3-D molecules lab on Tuesday and discuss all the textbook questions then. Phew! Hopefully we will have school next week!
Enjoy your time off school, but remember to take advantage of this time to get your school work done. Then you can really enjoy your weekend!
