-Spelling: Written work is due. Study for the practice quiz. -Science: Do some research and reading in the general field of science that you chose for your report so you get familiar with what the field includes. Please don't try and choose a specific report topic yet. Instead, for now I want you to take a broad view of biology or geology or astronomy, etc. and see how big and diverse each of those areas of study really is. Use Wikipedia or the Academic Kids Encyclopedia sites to start exploring. We'll begin to narrow down topics on Thursday and Friday.
