A mega-huge update!

My apologies for leaving you update-less for so long. But! we have been moving & grooving here in English 10. Since Ms. Carder's send off in April, we have have conquered this year's Smarter Balanced Assessment, earned a pretty-sweet upcoming field day, and dove head-first into my/our first ever Passion Projects. 

I've been a bit crazy with the revolving door and endless parade of lovely and wonderful new graduates, but 208 is still rocking with some big-time intellect and ideas. 

​Here's where we began:

• From there, we brainstormed and wondered.  
• We talked note-taking and how to Google. 
• We researched and completed Discovery Notes and focused on just...learning, acquiring or refining knowledge, or deepening skills. 

Now, we are off and on to final project work days. (Click here for task sheet.) You guys are coming up with really interesting ideas, and I couldn't be more excited to see them come to fruition! Like, I'm talking live guitar, sculpture, the concept of infinity, the boundaries of our universe, and psychological experiments. Bring it. 

Next week, we'll get organized and present our projects. Soon enough you'll be riding into the sunset and Junior year, so stay the course, guys...you've had a great year!
