=Academy of Medical Arts American Literature/Contemporary Comp Wiki =

Welcome to AMA English! Our Aim is to build a challenging yet fun year of reading, writing, arguing, debating, and creating responses to literature, responses to the world via our own literature, and strong connections to other subjects and the health science, public health, and medical arts.

Let's remember to be observant, filled with wonder, and open to new situations...you never know what will make that enduring and inspiring impact on you...
