English 8 students began a new unit that will focus on voice and diction (among other things). We’ll be reading the novel Nightjohn.

English I students began the final analytic Schaffer paragraph, this one on symbolism and irony. We’ll be writing our final analytic paragraph this week, and this final paragraph will be an almost entirely solo effort.
