i was thinking the same thing. It seems more like grade 8 or 9 work.


I think this is a great assignment. Kids do very little writing, critical thinking and analysis these days. Just starting MS years but I expected more as public school system rated top in the country.

I hope this assignment never goes away for any grade level.

Wait. You think this is a great assignment for 12 graders? Or MS students?
