Winter Break Extra Credit
Over break, you may do up to 5 "Current Event" article reviews. These must be articles written with the last year (so only 2011 articles). The articles can be about anything Science-related, so things about animals, medical research, space-science, physics... anything you think is interesting! For each article, please include the following:
1. Title
2. Author
3. Source (where did you get it? website? newspaper? etc)
4. Brief Summary: What is the article about? Topic, supporting and important details.
- 3-5 complete sentences
5. Response: What did YOU think about the article? Did you learn something new? Do you agree with the article? Why or why not?
- 3-5 complete sentences.
Each article review will be worth up to 5 points. If you chose to type your reviews, please email them to me at hurst.scienceclass@gmail.com before January 3. If you write them by hand, they MUST be turned in on January 4th, the day we return from break. Term 2 grades are due on the 5th.
Thank you! Hope everyone is having a wonderful break!!

New Room... New Teacher :)
Welcome to Ms. Hurst's 7th grade Science class!! Its a new room for all of us, so we're going to be hanging some posters, putting work up, and giving it some personality. Hopefully we will be getting our projector screen and white board soon, but until then, we're going to get creative :)
We will be finishing up the "Diversity of Life" unit, but since you are coming to me from Ms. Mendillo AND Ms. Hall's classes... the first day or so we are going to figure out who has learned what... and what we are going to do until Winter Break.
... I will also be your Geography teacher :) and we will have our own blog soon.
I hope you are as excited as I am about this change... I know we only have a couple of weeks before we go on Winter Break, but we're going to get as much as we can done, and who knows what the classroom will look like when you come back!
