This year, ninth grade students studied Greek, Shakespearean, French, 20th Century American and 20th Century British Literature. We read classics like Antigone, Romeo and Juliet, Les Miserables, The Pearl, and The Hobbit. Some highlights included learning about the tragic hero, debating virtue ethics versus the Bible, and writing a Regents-level Critical Lens Essay using the following quotation: “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort or convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” (M. L. King, Jr.)
