Both classes have selected a topic to divide and debate over! First hour has decided to debate weather JH should be included in HS events. Second hour is beating weather or not we should have free healthcare for all. These are shaping up to be great debates!

Students were able to choose from a variety of topics to write their paper. These papers require the students to cite evidence from the book to support their thesis statement. So far, many students have show great ability in building their stance, supporting it, and explaining it. It's great to see that they have retained a lot of the info and skills we learned last year!
We have finished the book and are the movie! 8th graders have enjoyed the wild ride and are ready to move onto their analysis papers. We have had a lot of awesome discussions with this book, and we hope to capture some of their insight in this assignment!
