After spending a week reviewing and revising our Georgetown argumentative essays, the students submitted their final drafts this week. We'll be moving on to our next unit starting next week—can't wait to get started on The Crucible! We'll ease into Puritan Lit with "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" by Jonathan Edwards (fun fact: he is the grandfather of Aaron Burr, the "fire and brimstone preacher" he sings about in Hamilton). The week felt a little disjointed because of department-wide assessments, so we're excited to get back to our regularly scheduled programming next week. Here are the caption contest winners from the past two weeks! P1 "Date knight." - Gisselle G. "When he says he’s really old-fashioned." - Alejandro G.
