Pre-AP
In our pre-AP class today, we began talking about the central themes and issues of To Kill a Mockingbird. The class went through several statements that reveal the themes and issues dealt with in the book, and helped students see that what they will read about is very relevant to many issues going on today.
Students also received their unit test, midterm, and research paper grades.
Homework: Student must have chapters 1-7 of TKAM read by Thursday.
AHSGE Reading Review
We started a new class today by having a discussion about the state of education in Alabama. We then watched a documentary about the Lakota Sioux tribe in South Dakota, and the difficulties that they have to overcome every day in order to receive an education and break the poverty cycle that is so prevelant there.
We learned that there is no excuse for someone who wants to receive an education in our area not to get one.
