This term, all middle and high school students (and all staff!) will read and analyze Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler (PSCS will provide the book when we return from Winter Break). Dan and Sieg will co-teach and hold three class meetings + one class slot per week for “office hours/reading time.”

HS and MS will spend some time all together and some in grade-specific cohorts. We’ll read the book together, practice close reading and annotation for context, theme, character development, personification, metaphor/simile, connections to self- & community-awareness, as well as personal connection, noticings, and questions.

We’ll also watch videos, listen to music, and more!
