Chalk Talk

Why do you think many colleges and universities want to know if high school students were active in extracurricular activities?

What club or activity would you like to see the school add? What teacher do you think would be a good sponsor?

Why do you think that schools pay attention to the grades of students who are members of teams? Is this a good idea?

Time Capsule

Today you will fill out a worksheet based on information that will be held in a time capsule for the whole year.  During the last week we will reopen it to see how everyone has changed.
