English/Language Arts
The work that we do this year in English will be designed with several goals in mind, all of which will support your development as a literate individual. You will explore your identity as a reader, a writer, a speaker, and a listener. You will develop and refine your skills in all of these areas while encountering and responding to a variety of texts and genres of literature. All the work that we do will be specifically mapped to the Benchmark and Graduation Portfolios in skills and in content.
Book Recovery
Over the past 2 years, I have purchased over $2,000 worth of books for my classroom. These books are intended to provide students with a vast selection of books to read on their own, with the hope that they may find a love for reading and literature. Unfortunately, it has proven near to impossible to get students to return books after they are done with them. The following titles are just some of the books that have not made it back to my room. If you currently have a book that belongs to my classroom, please return it. It wants to come home. It misses it’s friends. Thank you.
