In The News!!!

The Benefits An effective way to encourage motivation. A great way to review for both participants and audience alike. Creates pride in English studies. Demonstrates to parents, school colleagues and the principals the high level of analysis, seriousness and insight that the new literary program demands. It’s just plain FUN!!!!

Future Suggestions We will require student answers to incorporate a lot of examples ( equal importance to analysis & content). In light of the Bagrut exam, we will present students with relevant quotes in bridging type questions rather than present author related autobiographical information as in the past.
