I just wanted to share a quick note with you about dedication. While we have finished up our animal study project and I have begun to review and grade the projects, the word dedication pops into my head. The dedication of you effort to this project was evident. Many of you did a wonderful job of using the resources to help make your project fantastic. And some of your projects truly blew me away! They were absolutely fantastic! For those of you, your dedication to your effort in this project shined through and you will be rewarded for that when you see your grades.
For some of you, the lack of dedication was evident on the page. Every possible opportunity was at your doorstep: rubrics telling you exactly what I'm looking for in each section, work time in class to ask questions, and the opportunity of 1 to 1 conferences with a teacher to go over work. Yet, some fell short. I will be calling some students in and giving you one last opportunity on this project. I will talk with you and give you a new extended revision date to make changes to your project. For me, it not just about the grade, it's about what you walk away from this experience learning and I want you to be very fulfilled from this experience. If you do not take advantage of this last opportunity, the grade will stand.
