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!

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!

Mr. Fowler’s Economics class has just recently finished the Stock Market Game. Six of the eight teams from 12W finished within the top fifty percentile, one team came in 138 out of 770 teams. I was very impressed with how well the students did and how they would research new products and look at how the market was doing. This game was a lot of fun and I hope that these students will in the future make investments with real money and understand the ideas and concepts that go into our Stock Market. We are working on Supply and Demand right now in class, which is a key concept in economics. The students have been coming up with their own examples of how the laws of demand and supply can be seen in America today.
