English I

Welcome

Welcome to English I. This year, we will be delving into a variety of information based around literature, poetry, non-fiction text, informational text, and various types of media sources. Below, you will find a list of novels and units/themes that we will be covering.

This year, you will need two items for my classroom; a charged Chromebook and headphones (preferably with a mic if possible).
