I was out of the building today for a curriculum meeting, but the work assigned is meaningful and WILL BE GRADED.
In science, we looked at a new STEM career: pathologist. (This ties in with our recent use of microscopes, as well.) It is your job to read through the material, and then write a CAR for this prompt:
Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of a career as a pathologist, and explain your personal opinion on whether it is a desirable career.
You can find that information on becoming a pathologist by clicking on this link.
In social studies, we looked at some current events by reading this article from the New York Times. The assignment is then to write short responses to the first set of questions from this 6 Q's About the News, and then a write a CAR for the first "Higher Order Thinking" question.
Both assignments are due tomorrow!
Remember, I will be staying after Friday as well for extra help.
