Ms. Mitchell's English Class

Welcome to my class! This is going to be a great year!  Of course, I want you to learn to be amazing writers and lovers of literature, but the most important thing that I want you to attain through my class is the ability to think critically and to communicate those thoughts cohesively to an audience. That is the most important life skill that anyone can attain.  And we will do that in a variety of ways, in English that means that we will look at different genres of literature fiction and non-fiction.  The author is trying to communicate some idea to his/her audience, so what is it and why is it important to that individual?   In my classes communication and active participation are crucial to your success, so be prepared not to sit back and rest on your laurels.  Be intentional about your learning, and if you don't know something- look it up.  Do not sit back and either let life pass you by or just say that you're soaking it up.  That's a lazy answer, and I think that you can do better than that.  So, let's embark on this yearlong journey together to be purposeful in our education- yours and mine.  I am a lifelong learner, and I look forward to taking those steps together with you.
