**Trial Update: The Prosecution came away with a decisive victory over the Defense. The jury unanimously decided in favor of the prosecution. Said the jury, "We felt the prosecution was just more organized. The defense were good, but they didn't quite use the governess effectively. The trial was close, very close, but overall we felt the prosecution just did slightly a better job." Mr. Anderson and Mr. Hill agreed with the jury. Congratulations t both parties, and of course the characters as well.
Vocabulary: About every week or so students are tested on a broad variety of vocabulary. Students need to know the definition of the word, as well as the roots and their definitions. Memorization is key, especially since there will be over 70 vocabulary words from the semester on the final exam.
Literature: "The Turn of the Screw" is the book currently being read by students in English 208. On April 12th, students will attend the town's court hall and hold a trial on who the murderer was. Each student is assigned a specific part, which requires them to know the story inside-out.
Writing: A compare and contrast essay on a specific part of Hamlet and Julius Caesar is currently being wrapped up in English 208. These types of papers are popular, and this helps the students get a better understanding on how these papers should be written.
