Begin- ning with the study of short stories and poetry, the students concentrated on American literature. Hack Finn, Twain's American classic, was studied in depth by the students. Time was spent reflecting on the works of a series of American writers, including Emerson and Dickinson. Later in the year, modern writers, in- cluding Steinbeck and Hemingway, were studied. In senior IVL and IVC classes there was much em- phasis on analysis of literature and practice in both ex- pository and creative writing. Word study emphasized the techniques of vocabulary building and created an interest in the English lan- guage.
