New Site

We're making a change to the way that we release work for our classes. The main lessons (the things that we'll do in class each day) will now be found at the site "Optimal Beneficial Moreover Detrimental: Classroom." We're keeping this site, with a slightly different name, in order to release a reading a day for students to practice their reading at home. Each post will contain a link to a reading, along with a list of assignments that can be completed for that reading.

2.1. WEEK OF RESPECT READING

This week is the Statewide "Week of Respect," where everyone in our schools' communities are asked to stop and think a bit about bullying, in order to try and become a little more considerate and respectful of other kids. This article,  "A Boy the Bullies Love to Beat Up, Repeatedly," from The New York Times.1. Click on the title of the article to open the link in new page.
2. Write a "Chain of Main Ideas" summary.
3. For discussion afterward, consider (you don't need to type up an answer): "What would you do if you were the teen being bullied? What would you say or do if you witnessed this bullying?"
