Homework Due September 6 2012

7th Grade:  Students need to finish their handout on Fort Sumter!

7th and 8th Grade:  Students will write a 5 paragraph essay on what it means to them to be trustworthy.  The essay should include what trust looks like, feels like and sounds like.  They need to answer this question thoughtfully and sincerely.  I would love for the students to give examples of times in their life where they have given trust and received trust.

Have a great night,
