Second Quarter Electives

Thanks to Grand Velas Riviera Maya for picture

Electives are a special activity for eighth hour every Wednesday. Some of the options are Scuba Diving, Debate and Intro to Computer Programming.

In Scuba Diving you can learn tactics about scuba diving, what it’s about and facts about it. Another option for electives is Debate. It’s a class you can take with Mrs. Cashler. You have the opportunity to learn how to argue - with a purpose. What is happening right now is you need to pick a topic to debate about with either a partner or a group of four. You can choose what to debate on, then one or two people must choose which side to be on - for it or against it. On Wednesday, we will have the chance to perform it in class. We are able to pick our own topics. Some of the ideas are Gatorade or Water for games, Cell phone use in school, and dress code options.

The last option for electives is computer programming. Mr. Langdon teaches this class, and you can learn about how to program computers, create apps and more. So far, everyone has learned so far how to start apps, and they need to watch some videos to get an idea of what they have to do. Electives will be done at the end of the next quarter, and there will be new ones available to choose from at the beginning of the next quarter.
