Welcome to Ms. White’s English Class!

In this class, we will be looking at literature from 1000 A.D. through today. We will see how historical events influence literature and how literature has influenced history. Class discussion will be a significant (and hopefully fun!) part of the class. I look forward to hearing your personal interpretations, views, and opinions on our subjects of study!
