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.
9th Grade English& 9th Grade Academic: Students will respond to a writing prompt for Great Expectations on relevancy. They will begin work on poems by Robert Frost, Langston Hughes, Edgar Allan Poe, and William Shakespeare. Students will be able to identify poetic structure and apply poetic devices.
11th Grade Practical: In order for students to be prepared for the Keystone Exams in May, they
will respond to questions on reading for meaning, analyzing and
interpreting literature, analyzing and interpreting non-fiction.
12th Grade Practical: Final Copy of the Research Paper must be handed in no later than Monday, 4/29. Students will be reviewing the rules of grammar and applying them to aid in the honing of their writing skills. There will be a Vocabulary Worksheet/Review and a Test for Unit 3B.
