Speed Dating!

We have reserved Thursday, May 19 at 3:30 for "speed dating" to match you up with your extended essay mentor teacher.  You will be required to come with a research question and a book list, and ready to explain your idea. 
***Please make every possible effort to clear your schedule for this event.  Otherwise I may match you with someone you don't want to date for the next 18 months....

Summer Meetings

Once, an IB student had a dream...

No but in all seriousness, this one is from Kaitlyn

I am posting to ask and see if anyone would be willing to meet up, during the summer time, at a library or some other place of books and shushing elderly people, to discuss and do some actual research for this monster of an essay.

Now you are asking yourself
"Self, why should I break the beautiful dream that is my summer so that I can go to a library with a bunch of mildly unbalanced people?"

A simple answer. The number of people who might actually work on this over the summer is so small we would have to take a higher math to calculate it. All I am suggesting is that perhaps we go in small groups, just enough so that you don't get distracted by non school related things like sunshine and freedom.

Tell mah what you think, any negative criticism will make me cry

start early!!!!!!

U of W Library Training

I have booked our next training session on Wednesday, May 11 in slot 5 in room 12.  This will cover the U of W library layout, how to search an academic library, and how not to get lost (without relying on bread crumbs).  If you need to miss a class, send me an email and I will ensure your absence is excused.  I am also willing to beg your teacher to let you miss, if necessary.
