The second nine weeks we will be focusing on the theme of JUSTICE.
The novel we will be focusing on is A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest Gaines. You need to obtain a copy of it by November 9th. I will give a grade for having your own copy. It can be either a physical copy of the book or downloaded onto your phone, tablet, or device.
You will also be required to complete one of the following projects during the course of the second nine weeks:

Through this contest you will need to research survivors of the Holocaust and create either an essay, poem, art, or short film reflecting on an aspect of their story and how it could impact your future. Please refer to the guiding questions on the website. No groups are permitted with this contest.
