 * Term 3 Week 2 Homestudy**

1. **Weekly Spelling** - Learn your list and prepare for this week's spelling test. Complete spelling activities 1, 2, 3 and 4. You have an hour in class to complete this so there should be no reason for you to have to do any of this at home.

2. **Speeches** - Most of your speech should already be written by now. Spend time this week writing up your cue cards and practicing presenting your speech in front of the mirror, to your parents even your pet cat if necessary! The more practice you get the better you will feel when you have to present. Due to it being a rather short week with interviews etc. we will be beginning our presentations this Thursday and continuing on Friday. Be ready by Thursday to present to the class.

3. **ePortfolios** - Please type up your Term Three goals.

4. **Literacy** - Literature Circles: Complete your role for your given novel. You have 40 minutes in class to work on this so you should not need to spend much time on this at home.

5. **Inquiry -** Begin filling in your timeline on your wikispace, outlining what steps you are taking towards your group's action. Record everything you do, even if it is just something simple like drawing up a petition form. Use a different colour for each member of your group so it is obvious who is doing what on your wikispace. By Friday I want to see an initial brainstorm, an action plan criteria table, your chosen action and the beginning of a timeline to show how you are going to achieve that action within the next 2-3 weeks. You have approximately 2 hours in class to work on this during the week so this task should not need much home time spent on it.

Your homestudy is due on Friday 31 July before 8.40am. If you are having trouble with your homestudy throughout the week make sure you come and see me before Friday so that I can help you with it. Miss K :)
