"There is no friend as loyal as a book." -ernest Hemingway
Our third unit of study is titled, "A Moral Compass." This unit explores a great deal of poetry, as well as fiction and non-fiction pieces which convey the difficulties people face when having to choose between right and wrong. We also discuss whether we believe humans are born bad, or if this has more to do with environment. We are finishing our poetry portion of the unit, and students were asked to write five poems, after analyzing various forms of poetry. We will be watching Dead Poets' Society this week, and writing a persuasive essay on the film.
