Closer Looks at English Books
Opening a new book can be an exciting experience, with the reader running their hand along the pages, eager to discover the story within. Reading and analyzing books is a near-universal practice for students worldwide, and at AHS, it almost always begins in English classes. These books have been selected by teachers whose focus is on teaching important works of classic literature while incorporating relevant topics such as race, religion, gender, and more. However, while balancing these two aspects of their curriculum each year, teachers try to find new ways to keep students engaged with their reading as well as helping them understand the nuances of the people and cultures around them.
