By now, you are probably in one of three categories. Try to find where you fit into the categories and think about the suggestions that I’ve made to help you move forward in the next few days.
Category 1: I’m feeling good about the project. I’ve read through all of the rubrics & I’m feeling good about what I’ve done so far.
Suggestions to go forward:
Print off the rubrics and actually try to check your page to see where you would line up with the expectations
Where else can you go with this? The headings provided on the page are the minimum. Is there anything you would want to add, fun facts or young animals for example?
Extra Credit – why not buff up your grade potential by adding more to either your research technique examples or using the research section

Category 2: I’m feeling okay. I still have some big pieces of the project to work on and it’s starting to make me nervous.
Suggestions to go forward:
Sign up for a conference with Bridge – Let’s take a look at one of the sections you don’t feel strong about together where I can make suggestions
Focus on the Requirements – don’t worry about adding any extras to your page at this point. Forget about pictures, focus on the biggies. Make sure your observation journal is complete! Make sure your research location section is good! Then take the rest of the smaller components one piece at a time.

Category 3: I’m nervous. I have lots of blanks and not much completed.
Suggestions to go forward:
Use your time – Any extra time you have, use it. Come and see Ms. Bridge in the morning before school, during study halls, and/or arrange a time with Ms. Bridge to come in early or stay after school.
Use time outside of school – work on this at home. As long as you can get to a computer with an internet connection, you can work on this project
Ask for help – Ms. Bridge can give you help, you just need to ask for it! I can help you create to-do lists to help you focus each day. I can help you find resources if you are struggling with information. But, you have to let me help you. Tell me where you are struggling with this project.
