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 #18: Letter to Self (rough draft)

Follow the guidelines on this handout to write a letter to yourself, 1-2 years in the future. Your draft is due Monday, but if you would like to turn it in before the end of this week, that would be great.

We will make edits to the letter and your independent book report next Monday and Tuesday.

Your creative projects based on "Perks of Being a Wallflower" or "All Souls" will be due Thursday. There are no extensions on this project and it is worth 25% of your final grade for the session.

Anyone not current by Thursday of next week, will need to come in on Friday morning to complete work from 9am-12pm.
