It has been a fulfilling week to start the year. Together the new DP students discussed and determined a dual focus for their English language and literature course. We have decided to explore a course around the central themes of love and relationships and the abuse of power. We will be studying six literary texts throughout the two years. These texts will be:

Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi
Macbeth by William Shakespeare
Night by Elie Wiesel
Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton

And for our higher level students

The Essential Neruda  by Pablo Neruda
The Lion and the Jewel  by Wole Soyinka

It has been a positive start and we are looking forward to more excellence throughout the year.
