Week Ending Oct. 8

Hello,

In this week's Sophomore classes, students completed work on Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men.  Our test was on Wednesday and students passed in their "George's Letter" assignment today.  On Tuesday, students will be headed to the computer lab to complete an essay on Friendship, based on a former MCAS prompt.  We will be starting Shakespeare's tragedy Macbeth next week.

In this week's Freshman class, students completed work on Homer's epic "The Odyssey."  We had our test on Wednesday and we began work on our next Heroic epic Star Wars, tracing Luke Skywalker's path to heroism.  In the future, we will compare Odysseus and Luke as heroes, and trace their progression and maturity.  To complete the "Hero Unit" in my class, we will read JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit in late October, early November.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email.

Thanks,

Mr. Hacker
