The 10^th grade class has both American History and American Literature this year.  As they studied the 18^th century, and particularly the time leading up to the War for Independence (i.e., the Revolutionary War) they dug into the texture of the times.  Following in Benjamin Franklin’s footsteps, they became newspaper writers and editors.  Below is a sampling of the fine work this class produced, combining a full-orbed understanding of the times with the vocabulary and elocution typical of Franklin himself.
