It's the last week before finals! Here's the schedule:
MONDAY: Memorial Day holiday - no school.
WEDNESDAY: Journal warm-up. CRT curriculum. Last current event day!
Due: Journals in bin at the end of class.
Homework: Continue work on essay drafts.
FRIDAY: Journal warm-up. Intro to summer reading, the YA version of Just Mercy. Hear sample essays and critique. Receive "A Great College Essay" Sheet. Work on college essay drafts on Chromebooks with individual help, if requested.
Due: Have a story or idea matched up to a prompt.
Homework: If you haven't already, do a free write where you completely answer a prompt and just get all of your thoughts down. Don't pay attention to word count or any other restrictions, just let it flow. We will work on editing next week during the last class.
Also: here is a really long, but very important and interesting article. There
is some adult language included, but the perspective and message are
thought-provoking and worth a read about how we make choices about
career paths and life decisions.
