As we continue to transition into the MYP format for the IB Learner profile we continue to develope critical thinking skills.  These skills are valuable and allow students to analyze and explore information from multiple perspectives.  This also means that we unite the common core with the Georgia Standards to create written proof that students have mastered the standards.  Enclosed are all the essay packets students will have access to during their time in this class.  I know it looks daunting but every student will be able to create a 3-7 paragraph essay for each of the standards in order to show mastery of the standards.
