Welcome to Our Class

Welcome to English 2!  I am excited to work with you, for you to reach your goals with our class, and for me to learn from you.

The English 2 Canvas site will house everything for our class.

Class Theme & Overview

The theme of our English 2 class is "AI: What is it?  And, Best Practices."  Through the theme of our class, you will gain knowledge that will empower you to successfully navigate and conquer many of college's and life's situations. 

To accomplish this theme, the class will be divided into different units.  Each unit will end with an essay.

Unit One: Intro to English 2

During our first unit, you will get oriented with the expectations of the class, materials and technology needed, as well as set yourself up for a successful term.  This unit will also help set up the foundations of English, communication, and critical thinking skills needed to be successful in college, in your career, and beyond.

Unit Two: Defining AI

Unit Two will begin our exploration of AI.  We will be reading the classic novel, Frankenstein, while utilizing literary analysis techniques to understand it.  We will then end the unit by relating themes of Frankenstein to explanations and examples of AI in order to create our own definitions.

Unit Three: AI Recognition & Pitfalls

During Unit Three, we will apply our base definitions of AI created during Unit Two to understanding how to recognize its uses in our day-to-day lives.  We will also explore misuses and negatives of AI usage.

Unit Four: Utilizing AI

To finalize our exploration of AI, we will take all that we have learned and apply it to further research about effective and ethical uses of AI.
