[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi! I went to Eastern for middle school and I'm currently a rising senior at WCHS -- the curriculum there emphasized providing strong reasoning and evidence for your arguments, media literacy + research skills, and the sheer amount of public speaking assignments (speeches, monologues, Socratic seminars) forced me to get over whatever public speaking fears I had.

6th grade was focused on literature and developing writing/argument skills -- books we had to read included The Good Earth, The Hobbit, Animal Farm, and a myriad of Greek myths. 7th grade was focused on developing  research skills w/ the ten page research paper & National History Day projects. 8th grade was more interdisciplinary between English/World History/Media classes w/ the capstone New York trip, the C-SPAN documentary, and the Final Conference documentary.

Overall I'd say that Eastern was a formative experience to me, and high school humanities classes (including AP Lang and APUSH) was v easy compared to my middle school humanities classes due to the foundation that was built there.[/quote]

So did you do it before lottery based admissions? Also were you doing any extra curricular activities while in eastern ? Lastly why did u choose WCHS over any other magnet program? Just curious and trying to get some perspective . Thanks[/quote]
