Student Activities
Activities challenge students’ logic, creativity, insight, and technical skills. Students work individually and in groups to consider the issues of taste and quality, complete close readings of selected passages, evaluate tone and structure in poetry, relate the conventions and concerns of drama to real life, and explore visual language and techniques used in film. Critical essays and timed writings help gauge students’ growth in analysis and writing skills.
