Marrs - Library : Murray*Turner Times 2020

Mission of the Murray*Turner Times

The following essays, reports, and research topics are ones for you to sit back, enjoy, and learn something new about the world we live in. 

All of the reports were written by Marrs 5th grade students after brainstorming favorite topics, researching from various sources, organizing information and writing final drafts for their audiences to enjoy and learn from. 

Attention was paid to using credible sources, interpreting the findings, and giving credit to the authors of their sources.  We hope you enjoy exploring and learning about all the different subjects.

  • To allow your reader to track down the sources you used by citing them
