Senior Seminar
Mr. O'Grady
Course Description:
Senior Seminar is an English course in which students read a variety of literature with the common theme of self-discovery. Students also prepare for the college and work world through completion of the personal essay, goals exploration, career research, and work-world preparation.
Students will have the opportunity to work on 12th grade ELA Performance Indicators, the Habits of Success of Preparedness and Organization, all while honing their high school reading and writing skills.
Course Syllabus:
Be sure to review the syllabus to learn what skills and works we'll be focusing on this year!
One important thing to note, for both students and parents: All Formative assessment scores will be found in the Google Classroom (linked above), while Summative assessment scores will be on Google Classroom and TylerSIS.
When you see a white boat [🚢] next to the name of an old assignment in Google Classroom, it means I have already reviewed the assignment, submitted a score if appropriate, and will not be reviewing the assignment anymore because the deadline has passed. This does not apply if you have had excused absences, but please leave a not in the "private comments" section when submitting a late assignment. If you have questions, please let me know.
Current Unit and Classwork: Historical fiction of self-discovery
