Journal Entry #12: What should our central idea be for Exhibition?
Every Unit of Inquiry has a central idea, a focus for the learning will encompass. A Central Idea is a sentence or a statement that is not bias or value-laden. It has no opinions and speaks to a general audience. What do you think is one sentence that sums of what our exhibition is all about?

Exhibition Journal Entry #4, Reflection on Essays
Now that you all have written your essays, I would love for you to reflect on the process. What did you enjoy or not enjoy about it. Did you learn anything about yourself?
Also, I would love if you reflected on reading about other people's essays. Did you learn about someone that perhaps you do or don't talk to much in class?
