The Piedmont community is invited to join the PHS English Department and freshmen parent representatives for the 9th Grade I-Search Celebration and public viewing on Tuesday, April 22 from 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. in the PMS multipurpose room.
All freshmen have now completed their own guided research in the I-Search project and have demonstrated their exemplary efforts and talents as writers, thinkers and researchers.
The projects are outstanding examples of what our students are questioning about their world and how they convey this information to others. These 15-30+ page documents represent nine weeks or more of intense effort and learning about writing, researching skills, and solid reflecting about the process. Students have also conducted interviews to deepen their understanding of their topics and form their own conclusions. The freshmen English teachers Jamie Mockel, Wade Wilgus, and Eduardo Wolbert know that members of the Piedmont community have helped guide students in their process and invite all of you to come see their final projects.
Come and explore research papers on topics ranging from the benefits of gene editing to the drive of an athlete and the emergence of flag football to the economics of climate change. These projects are meaningful works that deserve a larger audience beyond the English classroom so we hope that you will come to share in their accomplishment. The event will run from 6:30 – 8:30pm.
Questions can be directed to English department member, Beth Black at bblack@piedmont.k12.ca.us
