This year’s literature study includes a variety of works, including short stories, novels, drama, poetry, speeches and others mediums from various genres. Students will build reading analysis, writing, and presenting skills as well as prepare for the end-of-year exams. Students will write a variety of essays in various modes, including research pieces.
Access to a computer and printer throughout the year is important. Students must make arrangements before or after school to use the school library or to use the public library, friend, or family member’s computer if needed. There are no exceptions to deadlines or to the printing of typed assignments when it is required.
My goal is to meet the needs of each individual learner so that each student can achieve his or her full academic potential. A variety of strategies, including Common Core, will be used to build skills as well as to promote a safe learning environment that values all students.
