Ms. Honig has been teaching for 20 years and has spent the last 18 years
teaching at WHS. She teaches MCAS Prep, 10th grade English, and 12th grade
Humanities. Ms. Honig earned a B.A. in English Literature from
Swarthmore College and a Masters in Education from the Harvard University
School of Education.
My classes are all heavily based on discussions. Students should come to class
prepared to participate positively in all classroom discussions and
activities. By the end of the year, students should
feel confident in their ability to express their opinions orally and in
writing. Students should also understand and be able to articulate how an
author's writing style impacts his/her work and how this in turn impacts the
reader. The Humanities course expands upon this concept as students learn not
only how to analyze literature, but they become critics of films and paintings
as well.
Students must take responsibility for their own learning. If students
encounter any difficulty with their work, it is expected that students come to
the teacher directly to discuss their concerns.
