Project- Based Learning in Mrs. Edward’s Class All students on the UConn team have been working on a persuasive research project. Each student chose a topic they felt strongly about and wrote claims. We then spent time learning how to determine if a source is credible and how to research effectively. As a final project, the students have the option to create a Google slideshow, persuasive poster, essay or video to convince their audience. All students will be presenting their project to their peers.
Geography Bee Champions Southside’s Geography Bee winners, Caroline Wainaina, Isabella Cocozziello, and Sezar Faraj competed at Hillside in the City Geography Bee on Wednesday. Sezar took second place for the City Bee. We are very proud of all of the competitors!
