English 9

In English 9 we work on getting ready for our upcoming high school English courses and our lives. Our teacher has us work on analyzing literature, while we focus on reading, writing, speaking and listening skills. We work on academic vocabulary, oral presentations, and grammar. We work on expressing who we are and exploring issues of society in our writing. We read the books, "The Absolute True Diary of a Part-Time Indian," "Lord of the Flies," "Romeo and Julie"t and "To Kill a Mockingbird."
