Session Plan

 

 

 

Welcome to a new unit in English 12!  In this unit, we'll reflect on how far you've come in the last four years.  Who were you four years ago, how have you changed, and what helped you get there?

Along the way we'll explore what makes an exceptional presentation and consider what role reflection should play in our work and personal lives.
