Welcome to Mrs. Grant's Literature Class at AHE!
Our goal in this class is to engage with literature as a way to understand the human experience. My hope is that students will develop a love of literature as we discuss our virtues and how they relate to the works studied, learn to recognize and appreciate literary devices, and learn to ask thoughtful questions.
