The goal of this English class is to produce critical thinkers. Students are not only reading for comprehension but for meaning and relevancy of the work as a whole. Literature is also an example of good writing. The writing improves when a student reads. Vocabulary also improves because the student is learning to read in context. We want successful students who can think critically and communicate effectively.
I hope everyone enjoyed the break! Happy Spring!
9th Grade English & 9th Grade Academic: Students will continue work on Great Expectations. Students will be focusing on analyzing the application of literary elements and devices for meaning and relevancy. Allusion, symbols, characterization, conflict, climax and resolution, foreshadowing, and figurative language will be the focus elements and devices of Dickens' satiric novel. As they read, students should be taking notes, applying marginal references, and completing the study guide.
11th Grade Practical: Students will continue work on the Research Paper.
12th Grade Practical: Students will be working on the Rough Draft of the Research Paper. They will also be working on Vocabulary3A on Friday.
