Today you will research some modern examples of civil disobedience. Take the time to find a news article on an example of civil disobedience that has occurred recently (past 5 years). There are many examples here in the US or around he world. Please choose an issue that you find interesting. There are lots of issues with education (student walk outs or teacher protests), immigration, conservation or protection of nature, the many issues in the middle east, nuclear armament, etc. Please print the article then staple a one page summary and response. Make sure you clearly understand civil disobedience and your article fits before moving forward. Assignment will be due by the end of the day on Friday.
Remember your 1920's powerpoint presentation is due to me when we arrive at school on Friday March 14th. We will try to fit in a few presentations but most will take place the following Monday. While you may present later remember that your completed powerpoint is due Friday. Please make sure you are working hard because this project will count for a large portion of your grade.
ACT registration deadline (to register without added late fees) is this Friday. If you are interested in taking the ACT, which many of you should be, the deadline for the April 12th test is this Friday.
Tardy Policy: We will begin our new tardy policy starting on Monday!!!
You will get one "free pass" for your first tardy. After that you will receive 10 minute detention (lunch or after school) for each tardy.
1st tardy - Free pass
2nd tardy - 10 minute detention
3rd tardy - 20 minute detention
4th tardy - 30 minutes
5th tardy - Referral
This will restart every 6 weeks. This is at the beginning of school, every subsequent class period, and from lunch.
