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: Students will be working on Poetry/Song Books. They will be required to identify 10 poetic devices from songs, write a paragraph about song choice, and create 2 original poems.
9th Grade Academic: Students will be working in Literature Circles for Romeo and Juliet. Each student will be assigned a job for participation in the group. They will be responsible for reading, comprehending, analyzing, applying, and relating to the tragedy.
11th Grade Practical: Students will continue work on Research Papers. They will also be reviewing for Keystone Exams.
12th Grade Practical: 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 4A Squares due on Wednesday, 5/7.
