Week 5

-
February is here already. Can you believe it?

This week students will demonstrate their knowledge of skills that we have been practicing the past few weeks. Cold Assessment 3.1 will be taken on Monday.  On Tuesday and Wednesday, students will take the Argument Analysis On-Demand Parts A and B. Part A will focus on analyzing an argument, and Part B will require students to use that analysis to write about it.

The last two days will be lighter. They will read and watch a version of The Hitchhiker.  After reading and watching, the students will analyze each one and compare/contrast the two in stations.
