Extra Credit Alert for ALL CLASSES:
You all have an extra credit opportunity (Tuesday, March 24th) by attending Peer Court after school in portable #9 from 3:15-5:15.
To earn the extra credit (and even some community service hours) you must be there the entire time!
To get the extra credit answer the following questions about each case (there will be a maximum of 4 cases): a- What was the case about? (i.e. what are they in trouble for doing?), b- What was the jury's decision & did the judge change anything?, and c- Did you agree or disagree with the outcome? Why? Additionally some of you will have the opportunity to be jurors and ask questions (if you end up being chosen for that please answer the above questions for your case only AND write about what the jury experience was like...hard, easy, confusing, etc.) This write up on Peer Court will be due 1 week after the event (Tuesday, March 31st).
US= We are starting a new unit on the Civil Rights Movement & this time we will only be covering one chapter (Chapter 14). You need to do all 5 questions on the 3 workbook pages that correspond to the chapter (117,119, & 121). There is no additional homework packet this time around because you should be working on your Written or Artistic Project that is due on April 2nd (for odd periods) and April 3rd (for even periods). There will be a Civil Rights Test on that same day! Don't forget to bring in your completed & signed blue registration sheets on Wednesday, 3/25 (for odd periods) or Thursday, 3/26 (for even periods).
PacRim/IR= Please be sure to finish reading given out in class on Friday. You should write down in the space at the bottom the 3 things that stood out the most to you or most shocked you from the reading. We will continue this week looking at Human Rights & be a bit more focused on Women's Rights. The material we will be covering this week will be good help for your Poem Project (and a visual) on women that is due on Wednesday, April 1st (for real...it is not a joke). Also keep in mind that you will have your Human Rights Quest on Friday, April 3rd.
