End of Year CHOICE RESEARCH PROJECT!!! ELA, Creative Writing, and MORE!

If you're like me and your kiddos are BURNED out from testing, here's a great way to keep them learning and engaged yet give them some much needed freedom!

I'm a 7th grade teacher in Florida. I teach ELA and have noticed that when we start to dwindle down and get to testing, my kids are just...done. I wanted something that kept them engaged but wasn't just showing a movie (but let's be honest...sometimes you have to LOL).

Then I came up with this resource! I created a choice research project that students can do almost fully independently! It's a great way to end the year and also allows them to choose a topic of interest to them. For example, one of my students is VERY excited about sea turtles and the beach, so she has chosen to study sea turtles and how pollution affects them!

Included:

- Day by Day scheduling/plan (can be edited, I have 80 minute classes so my plan may look differently from yours)

- Brainstorm Paper

- Research Paper Proposal

- Research Notes & Sources Graphic Organizer

- Detailed Rubric

I hope you enjoy this resource and I wish you ALL the luck with ending the year strong :)
