In English we have been continuing our unit on trying to fit in.  Have read the first 6 chapters of ‘The Outsiders’ by SE Hinton, discussing themes such as family, friendships, gangs, self identity and violence.  Students are working on character sketches as a formative assessment.

In I and S we are continuing with our governance unit.  Students completed a source analysis of monarchy.  We are investigating democracy and will be completing a research project on totalitarianism.
