Benjamin Prado's Presentation

Students should write a thank you addressed to Mrs. Glover and Mrs. Fox for the invitation to the presentation dealing with immigration. Students should include at least one thing that they learned from the presentation. Advanced students would also include what they planned to do with this information or speak to how this information is related to their experience.

Students are expected to have their letters peer-reviewed with final drafts reviewed by staff. Letters will then be forwarded to administrators. A copy of the letter will be uploaded to each student's blog.
