"The unexamined life is not worth living." SocratesSophomore English |
 |
Sophomore English builds upon the skills taught in Freshman
year by concentrating upon a thematic approach to literature and composition.
Topics of some of the themes explored are heroism, innocence
and experience, the individual and the community, ambition,
and loyalty. While exploring these topics, students will learn rhetorical
skills that will aid them in their reading comprehension and their written
and spoken abilities. More importantly, the students will be taught skills
that will aid them in their pursuit of life-long learning. These skills
will help them attain more of the knowledge that is necessary for living
a fulfilled life that will yield some of the answers to life's greater
questions, such as, "Who am I?" or "What is the meaning and purpose of
life." These, and many others, are the important questions in life and
it is never too early or too late to begin seeking their answers. And,
it's good to have a little fun along the way.
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.
