Informational Writing
Students are working on their final paper of the year. It will be a test grade in Writing/Grammar. They are writing an informational paper on a career of their choice. As always, each paper should include a quote and a personal anecdote. Please research a quote tonight. For example, if your career choice is teacher, you would search "quotes + education". You might also search someone famous from your field to find a quote. For example, if you are writing about being an actor, you could search "Tom Hanks + quotes." You also need a short personal anecdote in your paper. That is a short personal story that relates you to the career.
Papers are dueTuesday, May 5.
Parents, in case you are interested, this is a required assignment for all 5th grades in the State of Georgia. It is part of the College and Career Readiness Program.

1. Jefferson Davis was the president of the Confederacy.
2. The 13th Amendment ended slavery.
3. The Panama Canal was built to create a shorter route between the Atlantic and Pacific.
4. Langston Hughes wrote poetry about the lives of African Americans.
5. The Battle of Iwo Jima led the eventual defeat of Japan in WWII.
6. Know where Kitty Hawk, NC is located on a map. If travelling north along the eastern coast, it goes Florida, Georgia, SC, then NC.
7. One function of the U.S. government is to collect taxes to provide public services.
8. Freedom of Speech allows us to speak out against the government.
9. The 26th Amendment allowed more people to vote by lowering the voting age to 18.
