Week 19

Project Week!

Please note that, for history project week, we will be writing an essay in class. Most of the work will be done in class, but some may need to be done at home. It will be at the teacher's discretion and individual pace of the student which determines how much will be assigned each night so that the essay can be done by next Tuesday, January 15th, 2019.

Please know that, while you are free to help your student and talk with them, most of the work is done in class. Additional research is welcome, but not needed.

The essay will focus on three topics: The early life, the deeds, and the after affect of the historical figure they are writing about. Some historical figures have vague beginnings, and so that first paragraph will focus on the time period in which they lived, detailing any historical events or the setting into which the figure was born. Some figures also don't have strong affects on our culture today, and so students will write about why they were important in their own time.

These essays, like all assigned, will be due through the Google Form, listed under "Helpful Resources" and emailed to you.

We hope that you find this Project Week to be enjoyable, relaxing, and fun. We feel it adds immense value to our student's lives. We encourage you to reach out to your homeroom teacher with any questions you might have! We are here for you and deeply desire to partner with you. Thank you for all your support.
