Yesterday, students banded together to get an extension on a presentation date they felt was too soon. They not only had an online discussion on our class website last night, but they also put together a petition on their own. They had many signatures on it, which also included two teachers from our school. We let the students present their petition to extend their presentation date until Monday. After hearing their argument, we decided to allow the students to present on Monday. When you become an adult and you want change in the world around you, a petition might be the first place you start! Good work class! Mr. Hong and I were happy to see your political activism today! |

- LEARNING INTENTION: I can explain how one person can make change.
SUCCESS CRITERIA:
1.) Paragraph format (intro, supporting sentences, and conclusion)
