1. Email or call three sustainability organizations to determine whether or not they are interested in working with 8th graders over the next three months. Keep copies and/or notes about every step you take. A “progress report” is due next Thursday, 2/7. Click here to get the business letter and phone call script we composed. If you run into a problem, let me know, and I will help you. DO NOT GIVE OUT PERSONAL PHONE NUMBERS OR ADDRESSES! Also, do not save this until the last minute.
2. Read and highlight four readings on Tenement Life in the packet I handed out in class. Start tonight and complete by Monday in preparation for Monday’s field trip to the Lower East Side Tenement Museum.
3. Core B: Bring independent reading book!
