This year, tenth grade students studied the English Restoration & Neoclassicism, Victorian England, Realism, and Naturalism. We read classics like King Lear, Robinson Crusoe, Oliver Twist, and Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Some highlights included discussion of paradoxes, debating the stations of life and nature versus nurture, and writing a Regents-level Critical Lens Essay using the following quotation: “It is the responsibility of the writer to expose our grievous faults and failures and to hold up to the light our dark and dangerous dreams for the purpose of improvement.” (John Steinbeck)
