Mix It Up at Lunch
On Tuesday, October 29, 8th
Grade students at Avonworth Middle School joined over 6,000 other schools
across the nation to “Mix It Up At Lunch”. For one Lunch period, students
ate lunch & talked with a different group of students based on numbers they
had randomly selected the previous day. The purpose of the Mix It Up at
Lunch program is to promote meeting new people, finding common interests, and
breaking down pre-existing stereotypes about other people in their
school. Prior to the event, Civics students studied examples of prejudice
& discrimination in American History while in their Reading class, they
examined at how social groups impacted characters in The Outsiders.
Phrases assignment
Students are reminded that their Phrases Menu Assignment is due
on Friday.
