English I: The major emphasis of English 1 is upon the skills of communication, both written and oral. Students, as both producers and consumers of language, will receive instruction in communication by speaking, listening, reading, writing, viewing, and researching. A focus on the fundamentals of the writing process is an integral part of the course. In addition, students will be instructed in the use of library resources and in study skills. A research project, as well as various types of narrative, persuasive, and expository essays, will be expected.
Our class will utilize Google Classroom for all announcements, classwork, and homework assignments. Students can use this platform to see our weekly calendar, catch up on work they missed while absent, or access copies of handouts.
