Making the best of PSSA week

This week was a drag because the PSSA's took two hours of our day every day. So for part of class we did freewrites or brain challenges to give the students a break. The students are really enjoying doing the freewrites and I actually gave them an assignment to do a freewrite photo prompt. It is due Monday, but some of them excitedly turned them into me today! For the rest of class the students are just working on their mock trials. They are doing an assignment where their client is in need of a heart transplant and they have to persuade the judges to give their client the heart. They have opposing clients that they are going up against so they have to consider the other groups counterarguments. The groups seem really engaged with the project and I am excited to see the trials next Thursday!
