Summer Reading for Cityside at Wheeler

There are two digital binders to support our work together this year. It is vital that you

arrive at school with:

•  a general familiarity with the contents 

•  a sense of how each binder can help you succeed 

1- Spend two hours reading and thinking about what you learn from:

The Cityside Basics Binder

 Password: cityside

2- Spend two hours reading and thinking about what you learn from:

The Cityside Resources Binder

Password: cityside resources
3- Record a casual video on your phone or laptop answering the question What is Cityside? Pretend you are talking to a parent or guardian and they have asked you about the Cityside Program and what it’s all about. Use information from the Cityside Basics binder for this question.
