This class is an exploration of the transition from childhood to adulthood. What are your individual strengths and challenges? How are you influenced by your family, friends, and various environments? How much do you know about your history and heritage? What are your core beliefs and values, and how do those shape how you deal with challenges? What are your goals for completing high school and the immediate years after high school? To help us on this journey, we’ll read four novels focused on different aspects of "coming of age" and Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers" about success. Students will be assigned a variety of papers and essays throughout the year to relate course topics and readings to their own experiences. (1 English credit)

HW #4 Music poem, 10 lines, typed, single-spaced, and two techniques
Use the Amiri Baraka poems we read in class and a song or musical style of your choosing to write a poem inspired by music. Be sure your poem is typed, single-spaced, and a minimum of 10 lines. You must use at least 2 poetic techniques. More is better!
