LITERATURE & HISTORY: September 26-30

This week, we will begin reading The Secret Garden, a wonderful book about new beginnings from old roots. The story begins in India and takes

Mary Lennox, the

protagonist, to England to a medieval mansion on the moors of Yorkshire. As we read, we will be looking for THEMES, and for how this novel incorporates all of the Activities of Culture, which we will be studying in History class. There will be some very interesting book report topics and activities during this unit, which will take us into October.
