Day 65

Objective:  The student will write the most important part of the research paper:  The 2020 Current Information Section where you prove your thesis.

Roll in GC.

1.  Part 3 discussion and sample.  https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3L_VvieQoSoTVRwOENSajhCY28/view?usp=sharing

2.  Write Part 3.  This is the most important section.  This is where you prove your thesis, or you don't.  If you don't, your paper will fail in its purpose.

3.  I will be looking at each student's Part 2.  I will be checking that 1) your editor told you of any errors and 2) that you did it right.  Be prepared...  I may bet a little "vocal" in my concerns.

Part 3 is due NEXT CLASS for 50 points of No Points. 

Side Note:

"Hey current Sophomores!

In case you didn't know already, I'm running to be your Junior Class President! A little bit about me: I'm your current Sophomore Vice President, I've been involved with UNICEF and Reach out Club, I'm a lead varsity attorney for King Mock Trial, I currently work for an attorney as "a paralegal without the college degree," am in the process of starting a small business, and am a published author in a national law review! Essentially, I do a lot, and all that I do has shaped me to be a successful president for our class.

As the current Sophomore Vice President, I have worked hand in hand with our current president in handling, managing, and approving money. A huge part of leading our class office is not only to plan events, but to initiate them. I have that experience. Everything you've seen in the past year that has been sophomore specific has been a direct byproduct of my work along with the rest of the 2023 office. As someone who strives to be a leader on and off campus, I have the experience running our class office that is necessary to be a successful and efficient president. Vote for me as your next Junior Class President!!

Voting is taking place now at mlk.voting4schools.com!"

If you could let me know, I would appreciate it SO MUCH!!

Thank you,

Chloe Christensen

 

 

Side Note 2:

 

 

Hey Wolves! For those of you who don't already know, I am your current ASB Executive Treasurer and I'm running to be your Jr. Class President next year!

As part of the ASB Executive Office, I have been blessed with the opportunity to serve the school on a grand scale.  In addition to managing all of the school's funds, I have also been tasked with the responsibility of working with other schools within our district to plan and manage future multi-school events.

My heart is to serve and, after the kind of year we've all had, I would love to use my networking ability, interpersonal skills, teamwork mentality, and financial experience toward the role of Jr. Class President.  One of the primary responsibilities of Jr. Class President is to plan Prom and I am confident that my hands-on experience on the Executive Team makes me the most qualified person for the position. 

Voting takes place at mlk.voting4schools.com and opens up Friday at midnight (technically Saturday HAHA) and closes Monday in 3rd period.  

So put your prom plans in capable hands and vote ALYSSA BURTON for Jr. Class President!
