This class is an exploration of the transition from childhood to adulthood. What are your individual strengths and challenges? How are you influenced by your family, friends, and various environments? How much do you know about your history and heritage? What are your core beliefs and values, and how do those shape how you deal with challenges? What are your goals for completing high school and the immediate years after high school? To help us on this journey, we’ll read four novels focused on different aspects of "coming of age" and Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers" about success. Students will be assigned a variety of papers and essays throughout the year to relate course topics and readings to their own experiences. (1 English credit)

9/25 HW #15 POBAW Response 3 and study for vocab/improving sentences quiz


Finish reading Section 3 of POBAW and write Response 3.  This must be a full page, typed, double-spaced and follow the correct letter format.  You must discuss more than one event in Section 3 of the book.  As always, be thoughtful, specific and sympathetic.  Follow the same guidelines as you have for Responses 1 and 2.  Here is the link to the guidelines if you need it.

Also, you will have your vocab and improving sentences quiz on Thursday.  Vocab will require you to match definitions to words.  You should also review the SAT website for "improving sentences" along with the handout we completed on Monday to prepare.
