This freshman English course is designed to expose students to different types of literature with an emphasis on short stories, novels, plays, and poetry. Students will develop an awareness of literary terms and an appreciation of various writing styles and intents. Writing assignments of varied purposes and lengths will be given. The course also includes studies of both vocabulary and grammar that are integrated throughout the course.
This year I will be using Google Classroom for communications with parents and student, assignment & assessment information, and weekly classroom & homework agendas.
The website to use to access Google Classroom is www.classroom.google.com. Please see me for classroom code.
Simply go to the website, sign up as the directions show you, and enter the code for this class. Then, you will have access to our class-specific site. There is also a Google Classroom app which is VERY helpful, one we will use in class at times, so please add this to your iPad, iPhone, or whatever device you will be bringing to class or using at home.
