Species project groups will be assigned.

1. Sit with your group and log in to a computer.
2. On scrap paper, make a chart with two columns: like and dislike. Fill out the chart to describe what you like and what you dislike about group work.
3. As a group, go over your charts and create group norms on a shared Google Doc. (Pick your own font color.)
Example: We will work hard during class and stay focused 90% of the time.
                 If we feel antsy, we will take a few loops around the room and get back to work.
4. Brainstorm with your group possibilities for species and subgroups of organisms within your chosen organism category. Write your ideas on a dry erase board.
5. Individually claim a species for your project and make sure your group is aware of your selection.
6. Read the following link about credible sources: http://mason.gmu.edu/~montecin/web-eval-sites.htm.
7. https://uknowit.uwgb.edu/page.php?id=30276.
8. As a group, come up with a checklist of 6-8 items to check when you are reviewing sources for credibility.
9. On your group's Google Doc, type in links to examples of credible sources and non-credible sources based on the criteria you came up with. Beside each link, type in why it's credible or not.
10. If there is time remaining, we will discuss research questions: Questions to ask yourself.
11. With your small group, take the research question assessment. Make sure you come to a consensus on your answer: Assessment

Homework: Use your notes to complete both sides of the Transitive/Intransitive worksheet. This is due Thursday. Also, get some rest on Tuesday night! You will take the Performance Series reading test on Wednesday during 6th and 7th periods. Try hard and do your best!
