My favorite unit we've done so far this year in the 10th grade class is Detective Fiction. I also loved the play "Twelve Angry Men". Both units of study helped me confirm what I want to pursue after I graduate, and I hope other students learned alot from them as well. It was a fun first half of the school year.

Now we are studying poetry and are getting the chance to create some of our own unique poems. What a great class and a "one of a kind" curriculum.

Thanks, Mrs. Vanderwarker!
