Dear (Mustang School Official) My name is Shaun Loar and I'm (xx) mother. (xx) brought home an assignment entitled The Trayvon Martin Killing from her last hour English teacher. I read the article and about flipped my lid. The paper was written by ABC before the jury found Zimmerman not guilty. By the way why is that? It had profanity in it, which we don't use in our home. It appeared that ABC was being the prosecutor  juror and executioner and wanted (xx) to make policy decisions and judgments like the article did. The questions that she was asked to answer before and after were inappropriate do to how the case ended. I told (xx) how the case ended. She told me she didn't want to do the paper on the article. I tend to agree with her decision. I have E Mailed her teacher to find out if (xx) can find her own article to do the the paper on because of these concerns I have with the assignment amongst others. Who exactly proofread this assignment and gave the ok on it? Is this going to be on the CCSS test. Thank you for your time. I look forward to your reply. Shaun Loar Ms. Loar, My name is Ramae Collins, I am the Cuniculum and Instruction Principal at Mustang High School. Thank you for contacting us about your concerns with (xx) assignment. It is my understanding that (the teacher) has offered (xx) an alternative for this particular assignment but I wanted to offer you some additional information related to the assignment. This article is an example of a teaching strategy called AoW or Article of the Week. These articles are being used in all of our English classes to help students broaden their experience in interpreting informational real world text. The Articles of the Week strategy was originally created by Kelly Gallagher, a nationally recognized author and presenter. We appreciate your interest and your involvement in your child's education. If you would like to learn more about how this strategy will be used in (xx) English class this year, we would be glad to schedule a time to meet and review that information. We are always happy to discuss our curriculum with parents, as our teachers and curriculum coordinators work very hard to assure that Mustang students are well prepared. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Ramae Collins Curriculum and Instruction Asst. Principal Mustang High School
