Our next unit of study is a short unit on research. 15 days of thinking, researching, and writing...with a 3-5 minute presentation to the class of research findings the two days before Spring Break. You will need to work outside of class to achieve Advanced level, or Level 4.
As the novel Speak comes to a close, many of you see the injustice that is brought up through this story. In an effort to connect the skill of research with topics that you will find engaging, you can select an area of social justice that concerns you, narrowing that area into a question and then a thesis claim.
Here are the areas from which you can choose:
RACE,
IMMIGRATION,
INCOME/CLASS,
GENDER,
SEXUALITY, and
ENVIRONMENT.
