Unit+4+-+Marriage+&+Family

toc Both classes decided to study "Marriage and Family" more in-depth this semester. This unit's essential questions are determined by the students, not the teacher, after each student has read the chapter, brainstormed ideas for questions, and met with other students to finalize them. The students also determine the debate questions.
