Eight grade accelerated students who are avid readers and writers will enjoy this highly rigorous high school class. I am extremely excited to open students' eyes to the world of Shakespeare and Dystopian literature.
This year students will read Romeo and Juliet, various novels focusing on common human themes, and short stories that will promote self reflection. Students will also focus on grammatical skills, acquire new vocabulary, and write in multiple modalities.
Writing is a major component of this class as they begin to analyze the value of literature. Despite being an honors course with a rigorous college preparatory track, I find that students enjoy the classroom discussion on various topics along with creative projects and papers.
