Students began the week with a visit to the library for browsing the collection, paying fines, and reading. Most students always appreciate this extra reading time.
In English class we began reading a popular story "Brian's Song." Students will listen and read the play in class and then we will follow-up the story by watching the movie. After viewing, students will write an essay to compare and contrast the two versions of the story.
