Homework
None
Today we started the Research Unit. In this, students will interview an adult who had their home or workplace threatened by a natural disaster. The home or workplace doesn't have to be damaged—just threatened. So, for example, over the past several years wildfires have threatened the Hale Campus. So students can interview any teacher at Hale. Many students have relatives who experienced the Northridge Earthquake.
Students will interview the adult and also research the disaster itself, combining their results into a feature article, like you would see in a magazine. Complete details will be posted on the blog soon.
On Wednesday, we will begin Book Club. Complete details for that will be placed in a separate blog entry.
