English 12M

This is a modified class.

A modified class means that we follow the general requirements expected in the Regents classes, however, we are able to modify lessons, subjects, and application of skills in a format that is more easily attainable for some students. We meet the same requirements as all other regents classes and take the same final at the end of the year. My goal is to encourage my students to grow his/her skills in steps that lead to mastery.

Books we will read:

Hamlet by William Shakespeare

A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams

The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger

* We will be reading some controversial current events so students can strengthen their opinions and develop their abilities to understand, validate, and defend a position.
