Please be aware that some of our units include films such as The Freedom Writers, Romeo + Juliet, Dead Poets Society, The Most Dangerous Game, and The Chocolate War (Honors). I will send home an "Opt-out" form for movies that are rated R, and students will be given an alternate assignment. Please contact me with questions.
