"High Honors"

EWG students are always encouraged to "think outside the box." We want them to think beyond the rubric and the basic assignment requirements. Originality, creativity, the "wow factor" -- these are the qualities that come to bear in work they can truly be proud of. In the pursuit of this excellence, some students rise to the top! Please find below some examples of things that are worth sharing.

The following were created by Mr. Robitaille's Elements of Literature (Honors) class. All contain great-sounding meditations on the apocalyptic literature of the class's final unit: "World's End."

• Poetry Breakdown (Owen Spira, Chase Yung, and Anderson Champlin)

• The World's End (Lana Allababidi, Summer Blair, Avantika Kumaraguru, and Claire Foley)

• World's End in Literature (Samantha Gordon, Danae Mahan-Audette, Grace Kupa, and Isabella McCoombs)

The podcasts listed below were created by AP English Literature students. All were based on Tom Stoppard's play Arcadia. Enjoy!

• The Nonscientific Conversations of Mitochondrea and Ribosam (Samantha Shriner and Andrea Ricciutti)

• Literature with Libys (Sybil Eklof and Michelina Smith)

• Waltzing Through Arcadia (Dana Allababidi, Morgan Richard, and Kristina Nicolas)

• H&M (Mason Jacob and Hannah Rae)

• Talking with Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum (Ethan and Alex Jedson)
