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)

9/4 HW #4: Organize your notebook


Your first 3 homework grades for reading group will be assigned to the three book reports you wrote over the summer.  Be sure you have met all requirements.  Any book reports turned in after Tuesday will lose points. No book reports will be accepted after Monday, September 17.

Now, for HW #4, to receive an A, simply come to class on Thursday with a 3-ring binder that has:

  •  3 dividers labeled: Test prep, Notes/Handouts, Work to Redo, Vocab
  • Plenty of lined notebook paper
  • A dedicated homework book--you can always use the one we provide at school
