Welcome to Room 424

Hi Scholars,

You are now a Sheik, which comes from the movie The Sheik starring Rudolf Valentino, the biggest Hollywood star of the early 1900s. In order to achieve your own fame, we will be focusing on the academic skills you will need to be successful in Advanced Placement classes when you get to them, as well as to be college and career ready when you leave Hollywood High School.

The first week we will start off with a getting-to-know-you activity as many of you will have come from different schools. We will also explore the growth vs. fixed mindset and learn how our attitudes can affect our outcomes. We will then proceed with the Greek epic The Odyssey, followed by a unit on short stories and finishing with a novel (to be determined depending on what you have read in eighth grade).

I look forward to getting to know all of you and to having a fun, productive year.
