Sophomores: We just completed A Raisin in the Sun and are finalizing essays on Friday. We watched a short film clip on the French Revolution today as we prepare to study A Tale of Two Cities.

Film as Literature: We finished Hitchcock after watching A Shadow of  Doubt. Students are working on creating Facebook Profiles for some of Hitchcock's most famous characters. We also begin the Social Realism with Philadelphia today. 

Freshmen English: Below are the motif posters that Freshmen completed in pairs. Before this, we brainstormed all the motifs in The Glass Castle and groups chose a motif to artistically represent. These are all originally created by the students. They traced the motif throughout the story and created thesis statements that explain the importance of the motif to the story.
