On Monday, October 13 (Columbus Day), Mrs. Atwood would like to designate a portion of the school day to celebrating Christopher Columbus. She has asked the teaching staff to develop activities in order to help students understand why we celebrate Columbus Day.
Mrs. Atwood will be in our class this period to have a discussion about it. She wants your input!
Get into your groups, discuss some talking points before she arrives- and let's have a substantive conversation with her.
When Mrs. Atwood leaves, you will write a letter informing her of why we should or should not have a special day designated to celebrating Christopher Columbus. Please write your letter in formal style: Dear Mrs. Atwood, introduce who you are and why you are writing, etc. Make sure you sign it! Mrs. Atwood will receive every letter!
