PLANBOOK LINK FOR HUMANITIES (BOTH BLOCKS)
Looking for Book Club ideas? 14 high school students share the one book they think their entire generation should read. Our Book Club project will be due in the third week of May, with presentations to follow in early June. The journal component will be due before then, in the first week of Q4. SIGN UP HERE FOR BOOK CLUB HUM 1 and 2
A WORD ON "I" REPORTS: If you receive an "I" on part or a whole of an assignment, it means that you are not yet meeting the expectations for that assignment or component of the assignment. This is a great opportunity! In most cases, Mr. Hamilton will show in a rubric or commentary how you can achieve competency. After a discussion with him where you agree upon a new completion date, you will be allowed to revise the assignment and resubmit WITH THE ORIGINAL AND RUBRIC ATTACHED. It will then be re-assessed to see if it then meets the competencies for the assignment.
