Exploring Mental Courage and Intelligence Development in Senior English

In this Senior English class, we dive into the concept of "mental coward" and the importance of courage in academic and personal growth. Students will explore if intelligence is fixed or can evolve over time and engage in text-based discussions about various articles, including a review of metaphors, similes, and analogies. The class encourages critical thinking and effective writing as students prepare for quizzes and share well-thought-out passages that demonstrate their understanding of these literary devices.
