Armando Rodriguez III, M.S. Ed., MAT

English IV Class

Good day, students and parents.  I am Armando Rodriguez III, M.S. Ed., MAT.  I teach English IV at North Shore Senior High School, my Alma mater; Class of  '87.  I have been employed in instructional setting positions for over thirty years as an English teacher and a Paraprofessional with emphasis in the Special Education sector.  Moreover, in those years I earned the trust and respect of many students, patrons, and colleagues.  My first love is raising my kids and spending every minute I can with them.  I also enjoy music, I was a professional musician at one time, and I love trivia.  I also love baseball, I played Single A ball when I was younger.  I want to give back to my community the knowledge, confidence, and leadership that was bestowed in me over the years through education.  I want to help change the apathy in students and parents to make our future as promising and productive as possible.

Course Description:

English IV is a year of daily skill building with emphasis on critical reading and writing, so we’ll practice daily; grammar will only be studied as part of the writing process.  Your student will be required to write at least one major paper every six weeks along with many smaller writing assignments.
