English IV Comp.

A Raisin in the Sun
by Lorraine Hansberry

Lorraine Hansberry's look at a black family trying to find their place in America is as timely today as it was when it was written. Students will begin a thorough investigation into the idea of the American Dream through the lens of this play which asks the reader what dreams a person is entitled to. ​​

Diagnostic Research Essay

Wasting no time, our plan for English 4 Composition is to jump in head first and begin research writing. The main purposes of this first assignment is to get students back in the habit of rigorous work while showing me exactly what they are capable of as writers. Once finished with this quick assignment, students will begin working on their college application or personal essays.

We begin the second semester with a continuation of our study of technical theatre. This unit, students will learn how the scene designer helps to complete the director's concept and creates functional yet creative spaces to help the audience interpret the show.
