In Eng 9/10 Students will begin to develop the reading and writing skills necessary to excel in their academic or career life after graduation. As we prep for students' opportunity to "show their stuff" on the NYS Common Core Regents, students will study a wide variety of texts from different genres and cultures in order to align with and reinforce both concepts in language arts and literature, but also the knowledge they are gaining in Global History class. This gives students an opportunity to consider the universal issues and experiences faced by people across the globe and various eras, as well as a chance to place these issues in a broader context of human history.
