"The unexamined life is not worth living." SocratesFreshman English |
 |
After receiving an excellent foundation at the Masconomet
Middle School, students take their first step in college and life preparation
at the high school level in their freshman year. In the English class the
focus of curriculum will be composition and literature. Composition will
feature a variety of forms including expository essays, narrative essays,
creative writing exercises, research writing and journal. Students will
also study themes and technical construction of the various genres of literature
including, but not limited to, the short story, the novel, the play, the
epic, the screenplay, poetry, biography, and autobiography. What is most
important about the curriculum is that the student will be taught the skills
necessary for life-long learning. There are interesting and exciting ideas
circling us every day and we should have a great deal of fun examining
them.
Life is a journey. While it is vital to have to have a worthy destination in mind for a journey, please remember that it is the journey itself and how you conduct yourself on that journey that is important, not the destination.
