English 1-2 -- 9th Grade
Welcome to Ms. Wira's English 1-2 Homepage!
This year we will be reading Of Mice and Men, The Odyssey, and Romeo and Juliet, in addition to other stories and novels, and learning to become better academic writers.
In addition to our assigned reading, students are responsible for reading 200 pages per month of a book of their choosing. The purpose of this is to encourage students to discover (or rediscover) the joy of reading. Once a month students are asked to report on their "Book of the Month." Fridays are dedicated to in-class sustained silent reading, but students must also be reading their novels outside of class on a daily basis in order to achieve the 200 page per month requirement.
You can find informational materials about the class in general in the right bar and supplementary materials in the left bar.
