Off-Track Assignment

Yesterday your scholar brought home an assignment that is due when we return.  They need to create a Facebook page and posts from one of our main characters in Buried Alive!  They may choose during the time underground or just after being rescued.  I added the documentary about a week ago here on the blog.

Reminder!

This is just a reminder that there is NO agenda this week.

Buried Alive!

We have now finished the book and watched the documentary below as well as the 60 Minutes After the Fact Special.  You will need to use these to complete your off track homework assignment.  I will send the assignment home next Wednesday.

Remember that some things in the documentary were not in the book and some things in the book were not in the documentary.  Here is the link to the Chilean Miner Documentary.
