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)

Extra credit opportunity! Write a love letter to someone in need.

The "Write More Love Letters" project has a special request for letters of encouragement to be sent to 3 specific people.  You can earn extra credit by choosing one person and writing to them.  You can use the one you wrote as a base and edit it to meet the recipient's specific needs for encouragement. You will have to complete it by next Thursday to get the extra credit.  This means,  you would have to turn it in to me for edits on Monday or Tuesday at the latest.

Here is the link for more information on the recipients: http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=87ea529be1b2d6065d52fc357&id=6b040707a9&e=b93c81ef4a
