They have used the ePals program for their pathfinder. The first skill emphasized by this project was for students to give a strong commitment to the quality, significance, and accuracy of the information they borrowed from research. The second skill emphasized was for the students to effectively paraphrase the material into the student's own style and language. The third skill was to make sure that all borrowed material was fully documented and cited.
Sixth graders continue to practice these skills as they are complicated and take a lot of hard work. They will make a broadcast of the final draft that will include pointers on how to prepare and stay safe during one of these severe storms.
