Writing

Personal Narrative

Students were asked to think of a time they felt discriminated against, stood up for someone or something, or a moment of too quick of judgement. This was a challenging piece for students to really reflect on their lives, thus far, to know how to really answer the question -- how do we create world peace?

Persuasive Speech

Students were tasked to write and present a persuasive speech to convince an audience to buy, collect, or take interest in a topic the student was passionate about. They learned how to write a strong thesis and how to organize their research to strongly support the claim they were making. We also worked on presenting information clearly and with purpose to get the audience to support our passions.
