English I Honors students began working on phrases as part of the final push through Great Expectations. We’ll be using it our new knowledge to analyze sentences for meaning more effectively.

English 8 students began working on the play The Diary of Anne Frank. We began with a few thoughts about what stage instructions/directions do.

Afterward, we  began looking at the stage instructions at the beginning of the play.
