Course Overview
I am a teacher of English 1 Honors (8th grade) and English 2 CP and 2 Honors (9th grade) for this semester.

Students will write for a variety of purposes, tasks and audiences. Essays will include narrative, expository, argumentative, creative, and reflective writings. Grammar will include the study of sentence patterns, sentence structure, usage, and mechanics.
English 2 students will sit their End of Course Examination towards the end of the semester.
