This past week in humanities, students learned about the formatting and planning process of writing a persuasive essay. They wrote a mock PAT essay, before writing their official PAT on Thursday May 9th. Students will receive a course grade from either their official PAT or their in-class practice writing (the higher mark of the two will be recorded). Next week, students will continue to work on their career portfolios. They will also begin a new Social Studies unit on Consumerism.
