English 8 students looked at The Diary of Anne Frank today, examining how dialogue propels the action and reveals the characters.

We looked specifically at how Anne’s character is developed in the play.

English I students finished up the enigmatic twenty-fourth chapter from Mockingbird.

We saw how the participants in the tea party were using pronoun/antecedent ambiguity to pretend like they weren’t hypocritically gossiping when in fact that’s just what they were doing.
