Bullying Continued

    It was a short week at ACHS with the SAT/PSAT and and PARCC tests taking place. At the beginning of the week we took some time out of our normal class period to go over the SAT test, how it is structured, why it is important, and how scores are used. Students had time to look at a practice test and ask questions about the different sections, timing and scoring.

     At the end of the week students continued their unit on bullying with a lesson and discussion on microagressions. Students discussed how microagressions show up in their own lives and in school, and they identified why microagressions could be a form of bullying, such as people asking "what are you?" or "that's gay". Students discussed how it is often assumed that they speak Spanish, or how they will get complimented on how well they speak English by adults at school.
