EXTENDED ADVISORY 10/18/2012

For extended advisory on October 18th we will be watching a Nick News video on the upcoming elections. The video is approximately 22 minutes long. There will be a worksheet in teacher mailboxes on the 17th for advisory classes - teachers don't need to make copies but can preview the worksheet for advisory. Students should then bring this worksheet to their Social Studies classes in order to continue the conversation either tomorrow or at a later date.
