American Studies Class at the Chicago History Museum

An Argo American Studies class making connections at the Chicago History Museum.

Freshmen English Classes

You are unique.

Don't judge a book by it's cover.

Here are some creations from the freshmen in Studies in Reading and Writing English classes.

Prior to reading "To Kill a Mockingbird," students created "Brown Bag Collages." The purpose was to get students thinking of inward/outward personalities and not judging a book by it's cover. Each bag has a surprise theme that tied to the day's reading.

The students also created "Express Sculptures" with a partner to communicate their interpretation of the essence of "To Kill a Mockingbird."

Transition to college

Next Monday, March 11, Argo alumna Samantha Huron will be coming to speak during lunch periods to college-bound seniors in the Argo Historical Room regarding the transition from high school to college. Samantha is currently studying at Purdue University and will address such topics as:


· Navigating financial aid and importance of applying for scholarships

· Making final college choice

· Completing senior year strong

· Things to prepare for staying on campus

· Considerations toward college success

· Differences between high school and college



Seniors who have been accepted to a four-year college and plan to live on campus will most benefit from this presentation and are invited to attend during one of the lunch periods 3, 4, or 5. Lunch will be provided for those who sign up by 2pm on Friday in the LRC or in guidance (room 146), or who contact me through email at chaack@argohs.net.
