Senior Horizon

May marks the end of high school for our seniors, who should be sailing off into the horizon in just a few weeks. Hopefully, they are keeping up with final assignments and preparing for one last round of exams to successfully embark on their next journey.  With that in mind, keep up-to-date.

All classes are involved in the following activities:

Poetry students are compiling a thematic anthology which includes an autobiography, illustrated poems, and a thorough explanation of poetic devices employed in each original work.

Sophomores in E period are proceeding through Animal Farm with a rhetorical analysis of Old Major's speech before moving on to Chapter 3. Sophomores in D period will begin this activity later in the week.

Junior American Literature students are presenting research conducted on key events and people of the Vietnam War as we have just begun reading Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried.  They are also writing vignettes, capturing their own fictionally enhanced memories.
