The class will see how the Roaring 20's got it's name and the new technology and leisure activities that began during the decade followed by the things that were then missed during the depression and the toll that took on the people and the nation.

ENG2P: This class will continue to read "Speak to the Earth" while answering questions and expanding their vocabulary. We will also be watching a series of video's related to Clayoquot Sound.
