Item Description
Join Mark Krewatch, U-High English teacher, to take on a high school classic. Today’s computerized Lexile metrics, a literary complexity score based on big words and long sentences, peg John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men as a fourth-grade book. U-High’s English teachers (and the Nobel Prize committee) disagree. In a brief 105 pages, Steinbeck’s painfully beautiful story of friendship offers an intricate web of reflective imagery, allegory, foil, symbol, and subtext that can challenge any reader. Wednesday, November 12, 2014, 7:30 p.m., at the home of Caroline Grossman, MBA’03, and Dan Grossman. 18 spots are available. Wine and cheese will be served. Lab parents only. Book not included.
