Students in Mrs. Maughan’s English class learn from history
Many people feel that one of the great things about English class is that it can incorporate all other subjects. Students can write a science fiction story or read a book about history. Mrs. Maughan, an English teacher at SJHS, has been helping her students learn from historical literature. Students in Mrs. Maughan’s class have recently been reading the play "The Diary of Anne Frank." The play is about a Jewish girl who lived during the Second World War. She lived in The Netherlands when the Nazis took over and was forced to go into hiding in a secret room above her father’s business. The students have been reading for a little while, and are now just starting the second act of the play.
