RE: Summer Homework
Dearest Seniors "Class of 2008"....
The debate over the role of government has raged since the birth of our nation and it is still alive today.
Please read the controversial and stimulating book "The Death of Common Sense" by Philip K. Howard during the summer. This is a very thought provoking book about what works and what doesn't in the United States.
You will be completing a study guide during the first week of class which will help you prepare for the first test.
Have a fun summer!
LOVE YOU,
Mrs. Ana Garcia
