Feehan Students Take on Crime and Punishment

Recently, Bishop Feehan High School’s Advance Placement Literature and Composition students immersed themselves in the characters in the novel Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky by participating in a “mock” trial.

“It is a wonderful class project,” said Jeffrey Day, Chair of Feehan’s English department and teacher of this class, “and a true authentic assessment opportunity -- because the students enjoy the dramatic presentation while becoming more intimately involved with the text than they ever would just studying for a test over it.”
