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
