Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

Our 8th grade also reads the "dark and depressing" collection: Of Mice and Men To Kill A Mockingbird Flowers for Algernon also, tho, parts of House on Mango Street and a play based on The Miracle Worker lots of short stories in the Identity unit that affirm various life choices and help students see how others have set goals and overcome obstacles the year often starts with a look at writing and writers -- with short autobiographical pieces by authors about their writing process and how they got started hope this helps!
