English: Students are currently preparing an outline for their "Care Essay." They chose to write about something they care about deeply. Today in class we hand wrote an outline for a five paragraph outline which they are to type into their laptops. For HOMEWORK they should complete copying their outline into their laptop. Since this cannot be done at home, they should use class time (Today) and Advisory time tomorrow (Wednesday.)
Social Studies: We discussed many aspects of history in general. On Wednesday students will be starting Chapter 20 from http://my.hrw.com. It deals with Immigration and Urbanization in America. For HOMEWORK on Wednesday (9/21) I will ask students to bring home a form about how their family migrated to Maine. You can find an extra copy of this in this blog off to the right called 20 chapter introduction. If a family does not know how they ended up in Maine, please have a parent or guardian sign the back of the form explaining that nobody actually knows how they ended up in Maine.
