Students will be given the Google Classroom codes once school has started and they have checked out Chromebooks. No assignments using technology will be assigned until then.
Parents
Once your student has joined a Google Classroom, they can invite you to join as a Guardian. If you are unsure how to do this, email me at chenderson@lps.k12.co.us and I can invite you to as well. Once you've joined for one of your student's classes, you can choose to receive Guardian Summaries daily or weekly (as long as the teacher has turned on that setting). To see the full Google Classroom, you will need to login through your student's account.
Our reading this year will include short stories from Gothic literature, The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros, The Crucible by Arthur Miller, and Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer. Additionally, students will complete an independent study research project in the spring focused on societal issues and solutions.
Students will also work on developing writing skills, including argumentative writing (both through literary analysis and persuasive writing) and personal narrative writing.
