Progress Forward

Since progress reports were issued last Friday, many students have recharged over the weekend and plan to forge forward with new vigor and determination.

Poetry students are working on revision of some poems they sketched from word groups and will be moving on to the Sonnet by midweek.

American literature classes held their first Socratic seminar today, discussing key elements in characterization of Hawthorne's characters.  Most students were well-prepared with notes and passages marked up in their texts.  

World Literature students are completing further analysis of conflicts as they intensify in Lord of the Flies, focusing on the transgression of Golding's characters as they adapt to island life without adult supervision.
