This will be an interesting week for your students with no school on Monday and our first 10:38 dismissal day on Tuesday! Even with the short week we will be hard at work researching and writing our first big argumentative essay. We are debating the topic: is hunting unethical or not? The students will have a real live audience they will be sending their arguments to and we will also be incorporating some in class debate! Ask them about their topics and lit circles from the week!
