We are turning the century and looking at the development of the US as an industrial, financial, and military power. Underneath all of these fine advancements, we are dealing with poverty, corruption, vice, and racism. As we move into this holiday season, be grateful and mindful of what we have and what we’ve lost as a nation – but mostly on what we have

Like the freshmen, Evangel’s sophomores are also exploring Dickens’ London, but this time they are plunging into the world of satire as presented in Oliver Twist. They are looking at various themes presented in the book, including good versus evil and nature versus nurture; however, they will focus on the book as a social commentary of its time. Consequently, students will be gaining information on the issues that plagued Dickens’ London and will use that information as a springboard to writing their own social commentary, a satirical piece focusing on a contemporary issue of their choosing that will be included in a class magazine!
Miss Collins
Evangel’s freshmen are spending some time in Dickens’ London, traveling with Scrooge, of A Christmas Carol, as various Spirits escort him through his past, present, and future. Students will analyze Dickens’ characterization of Scrooge and his ability to convey the theme of redemption. Students will also be creating their very own Dickens dictionaries!
