The first week, in both English and Social Policy, is a type of boot camp. The goal is to refresh-remind-remeadiate students' skills. Three skills we worked on were annotating (what you agree with, disagree with, and have questions about) in the text, stop-and-summarize (reading strategy), and professional language. We did this through readings on a potential soda tax, slang in school, and the mayor's response to "flash mobs"
Ms. Wallace, Ms. McClary, Ms. Ward, and Mr. Barnes work on their professional language. Ms. Wallace with the quote of the day: "There's no right way to talk." (They were also examining the article on slang)
