October 2019: Articles of the Week! Students in Ms. Moberly's and Mrs. Principe's classes have been reading and writing about one current article a week in an effort to expand both their background knowledge and their understanding of what good essays can be. So far they've read about Easter eggs in our devices, the Cherokee Nation's nomination of a non-voting member to Congress, a CT obituary that went viral, how impeachment works, a lawsuit against Juul, and a recent NBA coach who tweeted himself into censure from the Chinese government. So many things happening in the world!
