North Little Rock High School’s Title Evokes Dynasties of Another NLR School

While NLRHS has returned to basketball prominence, it will be hard-pressed to match what the Dragons of national power Scipio Jones High achieved. This lesson focuses on reading and writing skills related to arguments and their support through evidence. Students will refer to African American Athletes in Arkansas, by Evin Demirel (2017) (ISBN: 978-0-9990083-1-7) pp.71-75.
