Learning through Playwriting!
Next week students will present their scenes and then we will begin crafting their American Identity essay based on all their primary and secondary source documentation they have been collecting and working with each day!
Just a reminder: Students are told weekly to check to see what their MYP criterion scores are and to not use the percentage that is given in Canvas, as they do not correlate 100%. Parents and students are encouraged to check eschools on a regular basis to see student assessment scores.

October Field Trip Reminders...
As a part of our service learning this year we are partnering again with Askinosie Chocolate Company! You can visit their website here to learn all about the work they do both locally and globally!
Each 6th hour is taking a walking field trip to the factory on Commercial Street. The dates are as follows:
Wednesday October 19th-Mrs. Bradshaw's 6th Hour
Wednesday October 26th-Ms. Armstrong's 6th Hour
Thank you for your support and help in getting permission slips sent back to school!
Coming Up in Class!
Next up will be a brief study of the causes that led our nation to revolution, followed by a project highlighting the Revolutionary War in America. We are using our class computers on a daily basis and going as paperless as possible by using the district wide Canvas learning platform! It has been a positive experience so far!
