Ms. Becton and Mr. Hickson teamed up for a lesson in "Entrepreneurship Everywhere". Using examples from different fields, Mr. Hickson and Ms. Becton's class were able to discuss the three elements of entrepreneurship: (1) taking the risk to start an organization with no gaurantee, (2) organizing people, things, money, and time, and (3) creating something that has value. The class listened to Mr. Hickson's story of entrepreneurship both in business and education and looked to apply their learning to examples of opportunities for entrepreneurs in all fields. Any teachers looking to co-teach a lesson or bring in guest speakers, please contact Mr. Hickson for support!

From the desk of Mr. Adam Sharpnack: As the students read the book Night by Elie Wiesel, we explore stereotypes and the universal themes of hate and pain. As a summative assessment, each student is to research 4 news articles on hate crimes, record them in a graphic organizer, and draw connections through the theme of hate. The students get really engaged in the research, reacting with shock and disgust toward the crimes and empathy for the victims.They start their research paper on hate crimes by crafting a thesis sentence with a theme topic as the central idea that is broken down into 3 sub-topics. These sub-topics then become the main topic for each of the 3 body paragraphs. The claim in the sub- topic is then supported in the body paragraphs by using citations that the students draw from the articles that they researched on their own. They organize all of the paper, sentence-by-sentence, in an outline that they will use to to type their final draft into a Google Doc. |
