English 9 Class Notes

Freshmen, it would’ve been silly to start anything new today, so we screened History’s Engineering an Empire: Greece. Certainly it wasn’t English literature, but it did give us an insight into the the crucible of ancient creative endeavor which was engendered by questions such What is imagination?, What is culture?, and, connecting the two, How best do we express culture using imagination? These questions we still attempt to answer today, in T-12 by reading imaginative cultural expressions of beauty, struggle, victory, reality, and truth in the authors we encounter in our course of study. Thus the connection between what we’ve been doing and what we watched today.

Be ready to read and write come Thursday.

Best until then.
