At KCIS, English classes allow students to develop a range of English skills. Through these projects, students can express their ideas, hone their research abilities, and complete a culminating writing piece. Mr. Kopec explains that projects develop reading and writing skills and foster creativity, as students explore various topics and align their work with MyView content. Ms. Jocelyn adds that Achieve Writing helps students apply correct grammar and understand different text types, connecting lessons to real-life problems. After hearing from teachers about the projects and writing, we now want to hear from students.
