My students will begin writing the final draft of their heritage reports for homework this week. I've asked them to complete one or two paragraphs per night.   I attached a final draft info sheet below.  The completed report is due on Wed., May 11.

Our trip to the Watsonville Courthouse is this Thursday.  Our play will take place at noon in one of the courtrooms on the third floor.  Everyone is invited to come, even if you did not sign up to drive.

Heritage Report - Final Draft Tips

* The final draft of your report should be neatly and legibly handwritten or typed (preferably double spaced) on one side of your paper only.

* Your introduction should be on a separate piece of paper.

* Organize the body of your report in chronological order, beginning with your oldest known relatives on one side of your family (maternal or paternal) and then do the same for the other side.  These can be two separate sections.  The third section should be about your immediate family - your parents, siblings and you! 

* Write one or two paragraphs per person, depending on how much information you have.  If you only have a small amount of information about your great-grandparents (or whoever) you may talk about both in one paragraph.

 * You may copy pictures (or include real photos) and use them throughout your report.  I can make copies here at school if you like.

* Your conclusion should be written on a separate piece of paper.

* Your cover should be colorful and complete (see guidelines.)

* Your finished report should be presented in a clear cover folder or binder.
