Four Minor Publications:
1) Science Fair Research Papers: First Draft due on Monday — Publication due Friday 4/11 (This publication is to help students feel confident in writing research papers)

They will all be working on the same story and they will all create a headline for their story and determine the key facts to be presented, and in what order.

Dear Mr.K
I am deeply DEEPLY sorry. I cannot find my science paper on my computer. I have looked through every file and my only conclusion is that it must have been deleted. I will not try to rewrite it, being that it took 4 hours to write it the first time. Please let me know how or if I can make this up.
