Beautiful Words

“Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; 

to me those have always been 

the two most beautiful words 

in the English language.”

 --Henry James

What do you think are the most beautiful words in the English language?

W. H. Auden

"A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language."  --W. H. Auden 

Why We Explore

All of my AP students subscribed to National Geographic magazine over the summer.  This month's topic aligns perfectly with our theme of Seeing:  Why We Explore.  The students' assignment with the magazine is to post a  paragraph response to one of the articles or photographs in the magazine on our Piazza online discussion board and then respond to the posts of two other students.
