Finishing out March in English Class

Spartan students have been hard at work over the last few weeks of English class. They have been working on a persuasive essay called "Dumb Law". This essay allowed students to select an old, outdated law from a provided list and defend this law, saying why it should still be enforced.

The students used the three forms of persuasion that they were taught in English: appeal to reason, appeal to emotion, and appeal of good character.

Next up is a Letter Writing Unit, where students will learn the differences between business letters and personal letters and will discover how to write each kind.

February Students of the Month

The Spartan Team would like to congratulate Renna W. and Michael D. for being selected as our Students of the Month for February! Keep up the great work, Renna and Michael!
