As the year goes on, I can gradually add more work. Each day when they enter the classroom, dropping off their take home folder will be routine. I will collect their homework assignments from their folders and return their folders back to them, along with their weekly assignment sheet. Their weekly assignment sheet will always stay in their homework folder. If assignments aren't turned in for the day, I will ask the student why it wasn't completed and send a note home to the parents.
If you have English second semester, you should still turn in your assignments by that same Wednesday. Your individual teacher will likely require other work, such as quizzes or projects, from the readings as well. Feel free to contact one of the English instructors during the summer if you have questions. Everyone will read both the How to Mark a Book and How to Read like a Professor excerpts on the BHS web page. You will also be required to read one of the novels and an excerpt listed under your upcoming grade level.

In Living wage sure beats welfare, they say William Bole reports that Rev. Doug Miles found that many of those lining up for the food pantry were holding down full time jobs. “They just couldn’t live on what they were making.” (Bole) In an effort to fix this the Rev. Doug Miles pushed for a living wage, far more than the current minimum wage at the time. The minimum wage that welfare reform was expecting people to live off of was in fact not enough to even support the buying of food.
Graff goes on to further state that because of this every street-smart student has the possibility of being an intellectual. To find this potential intellectualism, Graff proposes that schools should allow and encourage students to write and read about their personal interests in order for them to transition easier from the street-smart thinking to more of an academic thinking. After this transition is started and/or made, Graff further encourages schools and colleges to teach the students to not just read and write, but read and write intellectually. Graff says a student’s writing should be challenged, forcing the student to come up with arguments to defend their opinions. Graff believes this action will further strengthen the intellectualism of our youth.
WW1 ends – The ending of WW1 meant that the European countries were able to meet their own demands and therefore did not need any more supplies from America. Farmers suffered from overproduction and could not afford to keep their homes or pay mortgages, some farmers even decided to become sharecroppers. In 1924, 600,000 farmers went bankrupt. Also, there was stiff competition from Canadian, Australian and Argentinean farmers who were selling vast amounts of grain to the world market. Over-production – Fewer products such as cars, consumer good etc were not being sold as factories were making more goods than Americans needed or could afford to buy.
But these immigrant children did not get any pay, this was child labor because the under aged immigrant worker was used and did not receive pay. It was more of a two for one deal for the factory owner because small bodies were needed to fit a certain job. “They are doing away with a great deal of mule-spinning there and putting in ring-spinning…for that reason it takes a good deal of small help…they get all the small help they can to run these ring-frames.” (65). These requirements cost many immigrants available work, leaving these immigrant men without pay unable to provide for their families. In an interview Thomas O’Donnell explains “…at Fall River if a man has not got a boy to act as “back-boy” it is very hard for him to get along…in many cases discharging men in that work and put in men who have boys…and that has brought my circumstances down very much…our children are very often sickly of not having sufficient clothes, shoes, food or something” (64, 65).
Changes in education are directly tied in to how successful a child will be in school and thus out of school. Funding should go to better supplies, teachers, programs etc. than to affordable housing. Many of the homeless are beyond repair, which is why there are only a handful of
