We actually moved to our last unit : Human Connections with the theme of Existentialiam.

The studtents researched on both existentialism and Taoism to compare and contrast the similarities and the differences while reading the texts, Annie Dillard's Memoir American Childhood, Mathew Arnold's Dover Beach, and Judith C. Ortiz with the essenial question: How do our interactions with envirobbnment reveal signficant aspects of ourselves?
