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)

HW: #16 IRP week 6 (for POBAW or AS); #17: Complete 5-paragraphs, typed, double-spaced

Come up with your 100 word description for how you will create a project that is interactive, shows effort, and teaches your classmates about the book you read.

For your book report (on the IRP you read) use the guidelines in the "Weekly IRP Questions".  You can use your weekly responses to help you format your book report, but you will need to change the wording so that the whole book report flows together.
