Unit 5: Work Samples

For this unit you will be required to ask your mentor what writing Work Samples you still have left to complete. After you find out what assignments that you need pick out a writing sample or develop on your own. There are three types of essays you will need to graduate: Expository, Narrative, and Persuasive. If you have completed the requirement already please disregard this assignment and write a sentence letting me know that you have completed your work already. Thank you, Mr. Ellsberg

Unit 3 Project

There will be no Unit 3 project for your class. Your Unit 4 project will be your CIM submission. Use this time to catch up in your course and let me know in the box how many assignments you have that are overdue for your class with me. -Mr. Ellsberg

History of Governments Unit 2

Your Unit 2 government assignment is to look over "The American Jobs Act" and listen to the speech that has been proposed by President Barack Obama.  Look at the 5 different parts that are in the plan:

1. Tax Cuts
2. Rebuilding America
3. Pathways to Work
4. Tax Relief
5. Full Paid For

The first part of your assignment is to summarize each of these Overviews.
The second part is to state your opinion about 1 thing you think could work, then 1 thing you think should be changed or removed.
Good Luck!
