Welcome to Ms. Adams' Homepage. I have been teaching for 19 years and have spent 13 of those years in Guilford County.

As we get ready for the new school year we need to keep something in mind when it comes to the texts we read: Literary texts studied in the high school are complex, higher-level texts which may contain mature content and themes. Mature content may include, but is not limited to pervasive strong language, disturbing violence and behavior, sexual acts, drug/alcohol use or references, controversial content, or culturally diverse themes. These books are selected based on their literary merit and will be studied through their historical and cultural context. Our instructional purpose is to expose students to perspectives unlike or in opposition to their own in order to analyze complex themes and to promote individual reflection and academic growth.
