April 25

This week in humanities, students worked on a mock PAT writing assignment for which they are evaluating the importance of planning for the future. The essay is due at the end of this Friday's class. Next week, we will practice writing a short story, based on the same topic, as students will be given the option to write either a narrative (story) or essay for their PAT on May 9th.

Students also continued reading "City of Ember." All work up to Ch. 18 is due at the end of this week. Next week, we will finish the novel and begin the final assignment, which involves formal letter writing.

On Friday, students will be introduced to the online career planning program, "myblueprint" to help plan their future paths in high school, post-secondary, and beyond.
