Creative Writing
This week, poetry posters are going up around Prosser to showcase the creative talent of these young writers, some of whom will post anonymously and others of whom will fess that it is their writing. In either case, their words will foster the literary community in the building.
Theory of Knowledge
A major goal this quarter will be for these students to complete a rough draft of their Extended Essay; I know they can do it and I know they'll be pleased with themselves when they do!
American Literature
Following the look at Revolutionary Literature, students will learn about Transcendentalism and read the works of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau before exploring the impact that Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson had on American poetry.
