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)

10/11 HW #21 IRP week 6


BE CREATIVE! You must complete your independent book this weekend and complete your IRP week 6 response. This is a short but very important response. You must decide BEFORE you start writing what creative project you will present at the end of this session to teach your classmates about the book you read.  Your response must be detailed and include exactly how you will put your project together, what supplies you'll need, describe how it will be interactive and how it relates to your book.
