We will again offer Honors ELP in a heterogeneous classroom setting. Students who register for the Honors section will follow a more rigorous syllabus and assessment process. For these students, this will include, but will not be limited to, the following…

1. Complete two book readings, with corresponding assignments.

Founding Brothers by Joseph Ellis

Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser

As agreed upon by the Social Studies Department, students enrolled in Honors may also be required to read a 3^rd book (to be selected by each individual teacher).

Founding Brothers

We will read Founding Brothers first. Students must purchase it by August 29 (B Day) or August 30 (A Day). Students may do so at area bookstores (B Dalton, Waldenbooks, Barnes & Nobles, etc.) Amazon.com is another great resource to use in obtaining books, especially in light of the limited shelf supply at area bookstores. The paperback price of the book is approximately $14.00.

Fast Food Nation

Fast Food Nation will be read during the Spring Semester. It may be purchased through the same means as Founding Brothers. The paperback price of Fast Food Nation is also about $14.00. Students are encouraged to "beat the rush" on purchasing this book.

2. Complete 1 major project per Quarter. Such projects will count as Major (Test) grades.
3. Complete other additional assignments as given by the teacher.

Students not registered in the Honors section may also complete Honors assignments for extra credit. Interested students may discuss doing so with the teacher.

I have read and understand the requirements for Honors ELP.
