9H Tanzania Pen Pals

Attention 9H:

If you missed class the yesterday (12/10), you missed a short video about Opportunity Education. You can view the video on the organization's webpage if you'd like. We are partnered with the St. Anne School in Tanzania. Please write a letter to a student and bring it to me in class before next Friday. Your letter should be brief - but be sure to provide little details such as your name, where you live, what you like to do in school, and your hobbies & interests. It should not be addressed to anyone specific.

Please see me if you have questions.

Attention 10th Grade

Thank you to those students who submitted their Lord of the Flies expository paragraph on turnitin.com. I have started downloading them to grade and re-send, so keep an eye on your e-mail inbox this week to ensure they come your way.

We will be spending a lot of time working in the computer lab this month. It may be helpful for you to start using Google Documents or an ISB media drive to take work back and forth with you.

Stay tuned to this blog for additional project details and helpful links.
