Class Description

This one-semester English elective is designed for seniors who will not be needing an advanced composition course to meet college entrance requirements. All work is designed to meet the practical demands in the world of work.  Literary experiences will be from a workplace setting to serve either as an example or as a case study of sorts.  Students will engage in a variety of written exercises, including paragraphs, letters, responses, interviews, and presentations.  Please note:  this class does not meet the English composition demand of NCAA and NJCAA for those attending college and engaging in a variety of competitive activities.  

Syllabus

Expectations:  

1.  Engage!  Students need to participate in their own education.  This means students will be both speaking & listening during class discussions, as well as taking notes.  

2. Be responsible:  Students are to charge their chromebooks at home, write down assignments & due dates, notice the items on the board, listen to & follow instructions, attend regularly, and do their own work.  Students should include first & last name, date, and class period on all submitted work.

3. Be respectful:  Students are to honor one another in word & deed.  So, students need to be mindful of what they say and what they do.
