We started in January by reading Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and then A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen. During Oliver Twist, discussions focused on the theme that in order to have a successful society, we need to love and care for one another in the way that Christ shows us. Students worked on group projects investigating the Victorian time period to better understand the novel and characters. Students researched and organized mock-newspapers on Victorian England. During A Doll’s House, students focused on the roles of men and women and we discussed God’s standards. Students ended the year with a unit on poetry and a unit on short stories, where we looked at different poetic devices and aspects of short stories.
