January 3 - January 7

English- Periods 1, 4, 6, & 8

There will be no homework outside of class this week unless a student fails to complete his/her work during the allotted class time.

This week students will pretend to be police investigators.  They will analyze a crime scene in order to gather evidence to be included in a piece of argumentative writing.  Students will learn about the basic parts of an argument (evidence, warrant, backing, and counterargument).  Students will be required to use these elements in their "police reports."

Students will also continue to work on "Dark They Were, and Golden-Eyed."  Students will analyze the craft and structure of the text.


Career Exploration Periods 3 & 7

Students will continue learning about finances and working on budgets.
