Homework

English IV
Your prompt for Wednesday is below. Please share with me at the beginning of class as "lastname-highschool."
What can we do to better prepare high school graduates for the future? Your answer should include a clear purpose for the education provided by your ideal school, as well as what should be considered the top (two or three) priorities.
Ideas presented by the class included the availability of dual enrollment and college preparatory classes, vocational and "life" training, the quality of teachers and coursework, the integration of technological tools, and the overall learning environment of schools. Note that this essay should NOT include any information from outside sources.
Your essay is due--printed and in my box--by the end of class Friday.
