SHARK SHOUTOUTS
- Shark Shout Outs to former Monomoy AFS student from Italy, Francesca Marchesi and current MRHS student, Peter Barnard-Christakis for their recent talks with the Creative Writing II: Global Outlook class. Francesca zoomed from Saronno, Italy where she is a university student to answer student questions about Italian culture, and Peter visited our class to discuss Greek culture and language. Many thanks to Mr. Burns for allowing Peter to be with us. Both visits give the CW students an opportunity to explore these cultures more fully and more engagingly; this helps them write poems and narratives that are more authentic. -Lisa Forte-Doyle
