Also, to replace the weekly SAT/ACT question you will be turning into me a weekly "Thing I Learned" (TIL).  In a paragraph you will basically share with me something you learned about life or knowledge in general.  It could be as technical as a new concept you learned in one of your classes or something about life such as how to deal with getting pulled over by a cop.  Through this assignment I just want you to be aware that everyday is a chance to learn something new and that you should always be learning.

You can turn in assignments early.  This is especially a good idea if you know you will be out for Grad Bash, testing, etc.

I will be posting the details about each of the above assignments so you can get a head start.

Looking forward to finishing off the year strong!

The One Thing Project



Now that we have finished reading the book in class you are going to create a virtual board using Discovery Education on your student portal.
In class you will pick one of the topics that was covered in the book.  You can work with a partner or small group.  (No more than 4 people in a group)

Part 1:  Create the virtual board
You will include images, information and videos that explain your topic.

Part 2:  Presentation
You will present your virtual board in class.

Part 3: Skit or Real Life example
You will share an example from your own life or someone you know that applies to your topic to demonstrate that you understand how your topic relates to real life.

You can visit the books website for ideas:
