Welcome!
-Topics for the first day included handing out the syllabus and work packet for "Coming to America." If you missed either of these please see Mr. O'Connor for copies.
-Look up information about The Statue of Liberty, The Colossus of Rhodes, Emma Lazurus or anything about those who came to America from other countries. Be prepared to share that info in class or on the blog.
Only a few extra credit opportunities are given each year. During the Coming to America unit, memorize and recite "The New Colossus" poem, either to the class or to the teacher. One extra credit point will be awarded for each line recited correctly. Bonus points might be awarded for reciting the entire poem to the class, particularly with some flair.
