Humanities

Students have been working on their individual novel study. They are reading in class and then writing a summary and answering a prompt from their reading sheet. If students feel they are not going to finish in time they can be reading additional pages at home. When they have completed their book they will be completing a final project.


Battle for the Continent 

Students have been split into small groups (they picked their team members)  and will be creating a board game to represent a battle from the Seven Year War. On Monday students are invited to bring in a board game so that they can see how proper instructions are written.
