Course Requirements and Expectations:
Course Requirements and Expectations:
CCR has two components, the writing component and the endorsement component. The writing component will be done using the Think CERCA program. Students will need to complete each assigned writing assignment and these are test grades. My expectation is that as the year progresses, the students' writing will get better and the essays will increase in length. The endorsement aspect will be very interactive and fun. We will discuss and do activities to help students hone their understanding of different careers to ensure they pick the proper endorsement for high school. Please remember that there will a warm up journal everyday, They are due the day assigned to compile a weekly daily grade.
