Interviews Due Monday
Students, your interviews are due Monday the 23rd. Please contact your interviewees (one for each career you chose) ASAP! Like I said last week, you CAN NOT wait until the last minute or you will have nothing. It's not your interviewee's faults you haven't contacted them yet! If you need help finding someone to interview (phone, email, or in person [with parent]), let me know, and I will help you find someone.
Remember to call your interviewee by name (Mr.___ or Ms. ___ or Dr. ____), introduce yourself (name, 8th grader at Westdale Middle), introduce your project (research paper on potential careers), and ask them if they have time to answer questions, or know someone who would have time to answer questions, about the career of ____.
Speak loudly and clearly when on the telephone, and remember to have those questions we developed in class in front of you so you won't miss anything!
Email me if you have questions: ahughes2@ebrschools.org

Career Research Papers
Parents and Students, here is a copy of the letter I sent home to be signed by both of you. Your research papers will be worth a majority of your English grade this nine-weeks, so it's important you keep up with the due dates, and say busy during class.

Dear Parents:
I hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday! Now that the break is over we are getting right back into the swing of school. Your child will be working on an important research project over the next several weeks. During this time, the students will be conducting research to learn more about two careers that interest them. As part of the project, the students will interview people working in their fields of interest, write reports reflecting their research, and create a presentation to share facts with the class.
This project is worth a total of 250 points; therefore, it will account for a large portion of your child’s grade for the third nine-weeks. In order that you may assist your child, the due dates and possible points are listed as follows:
Component Due Date Points Possible
Topics Beg of Class 1/12 10
Interviews Beg of Class 1/23 50
Note Cards End of Class 1/24 50
Outline End of Class 1/24 10
Final Report End of Class 1/30 100
Presentation Beg of Class 1/31-2/1 30
TOTAL 250
If you have any questions about any aspect of the project, please feel free to contact me at school at 225-924-1308 or email me at ahughes2@ebrschools.org. Thanks for your support in helping your child plan for the future.
Sincerely,
Allison Hughes
