Freshies and Sophs Have a Writing Assignment too!

The Freshmen and Sophomores were given the following assignment today. We went over the questions so they should have a clear understanding of what I'm asking for. It is due next Monday and will be considered an assessment (test).

Little Rock Nine Writing Assignment

Think about a person in the Little Rock 9 story whom you would most like or least like to be. Why would you like/not like to be this person?

What do you think were the most important influences on this person?
