Final Essay and Menus

This week, the 8th graders are working on the final parts of their world affairs project.  They are writing essays that answer the essential question "Does the United States have the responsibility to act as the world's police?" with evidence that they have gathered throughout the unit.  They are also working on completing their menu items, which are due next Wednesday.  Next Tuesday and Wednesday will be our final model UN summit.  Students will use the knowledge that they have gained over the past few months to role-play delegates of their assigned country in solving an international problem.
