As I indicated in the email, the following "assignment" is completely optional. You can do as little or as much as you'd like (or none at all), but I really think it is worth your time as you begin your high school years. These work best if the parent(s) and student watch/read/discuss them together, at the same time. I've structured these into multiple sessions to try to divide it up (perhaps do one, then wait a day or two, and then do the next), but you are welcome to proceed through it however you'd like. I think you would find this the most valuable if you completed this before school starts on August 19th, but it's great to refer to it at any time.

Bonus: If you want to learn even more
