This page is dedicated to informing parents and guardians of "talking points" - topics that students are covering in class. The hope is that when the dreaded response to "What did you do today" is "Nothing" or "I don't know", the ideas below can help reengage students in the classroom material.

October 2017:
- Veterans and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): We are just beginning to read our short stories that include characters who experience war and suffer from PTSD. This unit will end in a Socratic Seminar, where students will discuss the literary elements in the stories, but also the real world issues surrounding PTSD. Here are some talking points to help them explore this information.
- Relatives that have served or are currently serving in the military
- What is PTSD?
- Does PTSD only occur in war veterans, or can anyone who lived through a traumatic event have symptoms?
- How does __(current event on news)__ connect to a character from class or PTSD?
