Grade 10 Reading Goals

Grade 10 students in my ELA classes will be steadily working their way to earning their 30 points for the end of the first term. Students should be logging their reading in their reading log, so they can self reflect on their reading progress.  Students also have a personal goal to work on for the next two weeks. Please feel free to ask to see their logs and talk about what they are reading, how often they are reading and how they are building good reading habits.

The Anxious Generation

In his newest book, The Anxious Generation by Dr. Jonathan Haidt he discusses the substantial increase in anxiety levels in our young adults. Please watch this video or listen to the March 21, 2025 podcast.

Reading Reshapes the Brain


CLBC on course to open minds

2/21/2025

 
Once again, the DMCI grade 10 CLBC unit is back, although in a different format than we have used in the past.  Five classes will combine forces to examine 5 different novels, most of which have been placed on a banned booklist somewhere. The CLBC is an inquiry-based project where students examine current socio-political environments alongside historical fiction. The goal is to encourage critical thinking about global affairs—how far we have come and where we go from here. Five classes are collaborating to bring a broader perspective to our discussions, connecting past events to the present and future.
