Monday, September 29

No school tomorrow for Rosh Hashanah!

See you Wednesday. And, great job on your HW on the debates!

Due Monday, October 6
Interview a friend/family member about an important historical event he/she lived through. Assignment includes a photo/sketch and write-up with a specific format. See assignment handout for all specifics.

It is best to interview someone in person, so plan ahead based on who you can see over Rosh Hashanah, during the evenings or, even next weekend.

Note: You will also be receiving other nightly homework assignments in addition to this one, so use your time wisely!
