Weekly Update - April 7

Welcome back! I hope you had a good Spring Break and you are ready and rested to ROCK quarter 4! This quarter we will have a two main focuses.
  1. We will read I Am Alfonso Jones and March, both are graphic novels that deal with social justice and African-American history and culture. Because they are graphic novels, we will start by doing an escape room to help students unlock the unique skills and vocabulary needed to read this type of book.
  2. Students will also be working on a 20 time project. They will use 20% of their time this quarter to identify, research, describe and take action on a world issue, social justice issue or service learning project they are passionate about. Look for a letter coming home that will detail to scope of this project.
