High School

Students at EAHS will develop note taking strategies using a variety of formats. Students will interpret documents, demonstrate understanding of the bias of different authors, and analyze charts, political cartoons and maps. Next, students will analyze the information, combine it with outside information and write an essay that answers the question. Students will write Constructed Response Questions and Enduring Issues essays.
