Does anyone actually use my blog?
If so, please let me know!
Today we discussed thesis statements in preparation for our NHD topics. We had some notes, and we viewed two short videos. Below you will see the notes, a link to the videos, and details about the Dr. King field trip assignment option.
Here are the notes:

OPTIONAL!!! Dr. King field trip assignment:
MANY of you have asked me how you can improve your grade. Well, here is an option for you. Attend the Dr. King field trip, write a paragraph about your experience, and if it is well written, I will add 5 points to ONE Reading or Writing assignment of your choice. Here are the details:
- Get a permission slip from the OFFICE.
- Bring the permission slip back by Friday, January 12.
- On January 15, arrive at Lincoln by 5:30 p.m. (This is a non-school day.)
- Eat pizza if you choose (for free!)
- Walk over to Viterbo University as a group.
- Sit as a group.
- Listen, learn, celebrate about Dr. King. The event begins there at 7 p.m. and highlights speaker Duchess Harris, Ph.D.
- Walk back to Lincoln as a group, having your parents there by 8:30 p.m. to pick you up. (The building will not be open, so they need to be there.)
- Write one paragraph about what you learned by Friday, January 19 and give it/email it to me.
- Get five replacement points.
No new homework was assigned. Remember that by today, you were supposed to have three "claim tables" prepared, which will help you in the creation of your thesis statement. Get caught up this weekend if you are behind. Email me with any questions you might have! :)
