Senior Projects Continue




Hello and rabbit, rabbit, rabbit :O)

Yeah!! Lets hear it for my seniors!! Every single one of them did
an outstanding job!!!

Senior Projects, a rite of passage for members of the senior class, 
are well underway at the Academy. 
Grade 12 students are required to complete a project identifying, tracing and 
examining a theme from a literary work, and articulating that theme in another
 art form – music, dance, visual arts, or theater. 


Students spend the first part of senior year working individually
 with their English teachers and members of the Arts Department to
 hone their presentations.
 During January and February, seniors present their projects 
before a jury of faculty members in the Auditorium. 


Teachers are encouraged to allow their classes to attend
 the presentations and there are plenty of friends, parents, 
and family members present to encourage those on-stage.


Some of the short stories are...
Salome,  The Scissors,  Rising of the Moon,   Ana Maria, 
 A Company of Laughing Faces,  Lemontov,  Prue, 
The Horse Dealer's Daughter, A Little Cloud, 
A Simple Heart,  The Centerfielder,  A New Man, 
The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World,
Araby,  The Book of Sand, The Dream of the Ridiculous Man
The Weed, Royal Beatings...and on and on


One story I particularly DISLIKE is
The Decapitated Chicken.  But anyways...
